## Resource

Mitchell Melton, a 63, 253 lbs edge rusher from Virginia, joins the Indianapolis Colts as an undrafted free agent. Despite his impressive size and potential, Melton needs to improve his hand usage and bend. The Colts defensive end room is already crowded with Laiatu Laut, Arden Key, Micheal Clemons, George Gumbs Junior, Caden Curry, and JT Tuimoloau. Meltons path to the roster will be challenging, but training camp and preseason could provide opportunities for him to stand out.
