Tony Brown

How he joined the Colts: Signed as a free agent on March 8, 2022

2022 by the numbers:

16 games
9 defensive snaps
303 special teams snaps
1 sack
1 TFL
1 QB hit
6 special teams tackles

Career stats:

49 games (4 starts)
6 pass break-ups
2 forced fumbles
65 tackles
1 sack
4 TFLs
438 defensive snaps
805 special teams snaps

What you need to know:

Brown's 303 special teams snaps were second-most on the Colts behind only E.J. Speed (384). His hair-on-fire energy was valuable for the Colts' special teams units, which maintained their high level of play despite losing a number of key contributors from the past few seasons: Matthew Adams and George Odum left in free agency, while Zaire Franklin was elevated to a starting role on defense, among others.
