Colts among teams with reported 'interest' in Kansas State defensive back

The Indianapolis Colts are among the teams who have shown “interest” in Kansas State defensive back Jordan Riley, according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC2 Houston.

Wilson added that Riley has had visits with Kansas City and Baltimore, while the Colts, Jacksonville, Chicago, and Seattle have each shown interest.

Riley measured in at 5-11, weighed 203 pounds, and posted a Relative Athletic Score (RAS) of 8.44 out of 10.00. This included a 4.56-second 40 and “elite” testing in the vertical and broad jumps.

After three seasons at Ball State, Riley spent the 2024 season at Kansas State and over his career, played just shy of 2,200 defensive snaps.

Listed as a safety, the bulk of Riley’s snaps came closer to the line of scrimmage, either playing down in the box or lining up in the nickel.

During the most recent season at Kansas State, Riley allowed a completion rate when targeted of just 54% on 22 passes, but did surrender nearly 20 yards per reception and had only one pass breakup.

By PFF’s metrics, Riley was a sound tackler and held his own in the running game.

Even with the addition of Cam Bynum in free agency, safety could still be a position that the Colts address in the draft, to at a minimum, bolster the depth. Bynum, Nick Cross, Rodney Thomas, Daniel Scott, and Marcel Dabo are the only players on the roster at that position.
