Overview
- The Indianapolis Colts signed undrafted rookie running back Roydell Williams on Friday after hosting him for a recent workout.
- Williams is a 5'10", 214-pound back who played at Alabama and Florida State and was on Alabama's 2020 CFP national championship roster.
- Across his college career Williams totaled 275 carries for 1,264 rushing yards and 13 rushing touchdowns plus 28 catches for about 217 receiving yards.
- The Colts also held workouts for other backs, including UFL veteran Marcus Major and ex-Seahawks Kenny McIntosh, who remain tryout candidates.
- Signing undrafted players and holding short workouts is a common preseason method for the Colts to find inexpensive depth and special-teams contributors, with Williams competing for a spot on the 53-man roster or practice squad.
