The Indianapolis Colts will host Arizona State safety Chris Edmonds for a top-30 visit ahead of the 2024 NFL draft.
Edmonds did not attend the NFL Scouting Combine so this will give the Colts a chance to get a closer look at the big box safety. He spent the 2022-2023 collegiate season with Arizona State after transferring from Samford (2019-2021).

Listed at 6-foot-2 and 215 pounds, Edmonds profiles more as a box safety. In fact, he spent the majority of his snaps in that area of the field while also splitting time at deep safety and in the slot, according to Pro Football Focus.
His 26 defensive stops (PFF) were tied for 29th among all FBS safeties. Though he didn’t record an interception in 2023, he did nab three picks during the 2022 season.
The Colts have a need at the safety position so there’s a chance Edmonds will be on the team’s radar late in the draft.
