The Indianapolis Colts signed 12 undrafted free agents after the 2026 NFL draft, including safety Austin Brown from Wisconsin, who is aiming for a spot on the 53-man roster.
The Indianapolis Colts announced that they signed 12 undrafted free agents following the conclusion of the 2026 NFL draft. Let's take a closer look at these players and highlight why each could make a potential roster push.
Up next is Wisconsin safety Austin Brown.
Brown played 1,528 defensive snaps over four seasons at Wisconsin, with 672 of those snaps coming last year. He has experience playing deep safety, in the box, and at the nickel. Brown generated seven pass breakups over the last three years and allowed 10.5 yards per catch in coverage over his career. He had a missed tackle rate of 12%, according to PFF. Brown is an experienced special teams contributor, with 441 career snaps.
"Brown is well-built and features good play strength. He’s an explosive athlete, but he’s missing the desired instincts in coverage, which might explain his lack of ball production. He has good top-end speed and range from the hash. He’s a physical striker and can be a full-stop tackler, but inconsistent angles to the ball turn into missteps that lead to explosive plays. His size, athletic profile and potential on special teams give him a chance to compete for a roster spot." - Lance Zierlein, NFL.com
Austin Brown stands 5 feet 11 inches tall, weighs 189 pounds, and is 22 years old.

Brown is a terrific athlete, providing the Colts with some additional upside to potentially tap into. He does, however, find himself at a bit of a crowded position. Cam Bynum, AJ Haulcy, Jonathan Owens, Juanyeh Thomas, and Hunter Wohler already account for five roster spots. Brown's ability to help on special teams right away and across multiple phases will play a key role in him making a potential roster push.
