Colts' Marvell Tell: Breaks up five passes in 2019
Tell posted 26 tackles and five pass breakups over 13 games in 2019.
The rookie fifth-round pick played safety at USC but converted to corner with the Colts. He was a healthy inactive on three occasions but still managed to play 24.5 percent of defensive snaps in 2019. Tell will compete for an increased role next year, but a starting gig may be tough to win with the team's top four corners all returning.

Colts' Marvell Tell: Headed to Indy
The Colts selected Tell in the fifth round of the 2019 NFL Draft, 144th overall.
Tell (6-foot-2, 198 pounds) is a lanky safety who can cover a lot of ground between his 80-inch wingspan, 42-inch vertical, and 136-inch broad jump. His agility score of 10.64 is superb, as well. They don't come much more toolsy than that, and he was otherwise a four-year contributor and two-year starter at USC. He might wind up the better safety between himself and Colts fourth-round pick Khari Willis.
