Coltzilla asks us not to forget about Ervin Baldwin
At 6-foot 2-inches tall and 270 pounds, Baldwin is a bit lighter than Mitch King but runs an identical 40-yard dash time of 4.83-seconds, which is faster than Brock. While he is an inch shorter than Keyunta Dawson, one of the defensive ends the Colts relied upon most in the big defensive line set and as a back-up to Dwight Freeney, he is heavier and physically more suited for being able to stop the run and hold up against NFL-caliber offensive linemen.
Should Baldwin continue to show development in his second season with the Colts, he could have an inside track to stay on the active roster in place of a player like Dawson who has proven incapable of being effective at defensive end. Players like Baldwin, Ricardo Mathews, and King could be the replacements for much of the Colts former depth at the position and all show promise of being improvements.
