Ballard says #Colts will add depth and competition at the WR spot. But “I’m not giving up on Parris Campbell.”

Thought it was really telling that Colts GM Chris Ballard called former LB Cato June a ‘grinder’–having worked to where he is today at various coaching stops.

Also cited the work that new coach Mike Mitchell had on the team’s young secondary back in 2018 as a veteran teammate.

Couple other notes:

– Jack Doyle hasn’t decided yet
– Ballard said definitively the DL needs work
– Talked about 4 FA OL, the one that stuck out to me was how much they liked Pryor
