Colts Sign Undrafted Running Back Roydell Williams

The signing gives the Colts a low-cost depth option to be evaluated by coaches on camp play, college production and durability.

Overview

  • The Indianapolis Colts confirmed late Friday that they signed undrafted running back Roydell Williams and added him to their training-camp roster.
  • Williams played six college seasons at Alabama and Florida State, totaling about 1,264 rushing yards and 13 rushing touchdowns and winning a 2020 CFP title with Alabama.
  • Injuries limited his final two seasons at Florida State to 11 games, a durability concern that Colts coaches will weigh during practices and preseason drills.
  • Indianapolis also worked out other backs, including NFL-experienced Kenny McIntosh and UFL veteran Marcus Major, signaling open competition for depth and special-teams roles.
  • Williams gives the Colts a low-cost option who can chase a 53-man roster spot or a practice-squad place depending on his camp performance and special-teams value.
