The Indianapolis Colts have multiple positions being mocked to them at pick 15 in the 2024 NFL Draft.

A popular position being looked at is corner, and one of the top corners in this year's class had some disappointing news released today.

Sources: #Iowa CB Cooper DeJean won't test at next week's Scouting Combine as he works his way back from his late-season leg injury (which is a bummer because he's one of the freakiest guys in the draft).

DeJean plans to work out for NFL teams closer to draft weekend.

Cooper DeJean, out of Iowa, is arguably the most versatile defensive back in the 2024 NFL Draft. He has spent time as an outside and slot corner, and some around the NFL believe he could be best suited if he converted to safety at the pro level.

With the Colts, they have needs across the board in the secondary. So, a player like DeJean could be considered a possible fit for multiple positions for the Colts. Their starting outside CBs for most of the year were rookies last season, Juju Brents and Jaylon Jones. Their starting slot corner and SS from last season are both set to hit free agency with Kenny Moore II and Julian Blackmon.

The Colts and the rest of the NFL will have to wait to see DeJean take the field until his Pro Day at Iowa, where the dynamic athlete is expected to put on a show.
