Coach's Prior Knowledge Pays Off in Colts Trade

The Indianapolis Colts defensive backs coach, Jerome Henderson, had a surprising connection to star cornerback Sauce Gardner, whom they recently traded for. Henderson had extensively scouted Gardner in 2022 and was thrilled to finally coach him. Similarly, Colts head coach Shane Steichen had scouted quarterback Daniel Jones in 2019, and his detailed evaluation proved valuable when the Colts needed a veteran quarterback in 2025. This highlights the long-term value of thorough scouting in the NFL. DNN | The Daily News Now! The world’s first global local news network. Every city. Every story. AI powered. Hosted on Acast.
