Can Geno VanDeMark make a roster push with the Colts?
Of course, Step 1 when it comes to making the roster is performing well during training camp and the preseason. But a UDFA also has to be at a position where there is a roster spot available, and there just might be at center for the Colts. While Tanor Bortolini leads the way, it remains to be seen who the backup will be. As of now, Jimmy Morrissey, who has played 318 total offensive snaps since entering the NFL in 2021, is the only other listed center on the Colts’ roster.
