No. 4: Safety Adrian Colbert

With each passing week, second-year safety Adrian Colbert continues to look more and more like a seventh-round draft pick.

Colbert was nothing short of outstanding in his rookie year, playing good coverage on the back end and lighting up any receiver that would dare come into the defensive backfield. He looked like a bona fide star by the end of the season.

However, this season Colbert has looking the opposite — you don’t see him making any big hits or tackles. When you see No. 27 on the field, you see him taking a horrible angle and, as a result, getting burnt by a receiver.

I am really hoping Colbert turns it around — he is a great guy off the field. He’s helped the local community a lot and has even spinned a Twitter giveaway into a contest in spreading positivity, which I really admired.

Oh yeah, and I can’t forget this:

If Colbert can revert back to his 2017 form and play like that for the rest of his career, this team is going to be set at safety for the near future.
