Indianapolis Colts’ Julian Blackmon Talks Return to Team on ‘The Pat McAfee Show’
Indianapolis Colts safety Julian Blackmon recently made headlines as he announced his decision to re-sign with the team on a one-year contract. The news comes after Blackmon explored other options in free agency before ultimately opting to return home to Indianapolis.
Blackmon’s return is seen as a major win for the Colts, who have been busy this spring re-signing or extending various players to strengthen their roster. His leadership on the field and standout performances as a full-time strong safety have been instrumental in the team’s defense.
The young secondary of the Colts faced challenges last season after Blackmon suffered a season-ending injury, making his return even more crucial for the team’s success. In 2023, he recorded career highs with 4 interceptions, 8 passes defended, and 88 tackles, showcasing his talent and versatility on the field.
Drafted by the Colts in the third round in 2020, Blackmon has proven himself as a valuable asset to the team with 214 tackles, 7 interceptions, 2 forced fumbles, 3 recoveries, and a sack over his four seasons with the team. His ability to match up with various players and willingness to engage in run support have solidified his role as a key player on the Colts’ defense.
Blackmon’s decision to stay with the Colts has been met with excitement from fans and teammates alike, as the team looks to build upon their successes from last season. Stay tuned for more updates on Blackmon and the Indianapolis Colts on ‘Celebrity Beauty Buzz.’
