It's safe to say that Indianapolis Colts rookie safety AJ Haulcy has made a strong first impression throughout offseason programs.
Defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo recently shared how Haulcy is "exceeding" expectations in the early going. The latest to heap some praise of the rookie was fellow safety Cam Bynum.
“First day of practice, he had a one-hand, snag pick on an over route," Bynum said. "Snatched it out the air. So what he's been doing so far, learning the defense, sitting next to me in film, I'm able to get a lot of knowledge from him, vice versa, I'm able to give whatever I can to him, and just from the whole room, I think everybody's been embracing all the rookies, especially AJ. He's been doing a really good job of filling in and rotating in with heavy, heavy rotating with the ones. I think he's been doing a really good job and operating like a vet."
Haulcy is competing for the starting job next to Bynum with Hunter Wohler, Jonathan Owens, and Juanyeh Thomas.
However, according to ESPN's Stephen Holder, Haulcy may be the front-runner following offseason programs.
If Haulcy can win the starting job, his presence could help elevate the ceiling of this Colts' defense.
Haulcy brings very impressive ball production to the secondary, not to mention that he is quite versatile, able to be moved around the defensive backfield.
This not only provides Lou Anarumo with additional flexibility in how he utilizes Haulcy and constructs his game plans, but it also allows him to move Bynum around more as well.
