INDIANAPOLIS — In 2016, it was Rashaan Melvin.
One season later, it was Pierre Desir.
When the Indianapolis Colts have faced some issues at the cornerback position the last couple of seasons, they’ve been fortunate to find some hungry — but still relatively young — veterans who have been able to step in and compete without blinking.
And, in the case of Melvin and Desir, they’ve not only competed — they’ve produced.
Melvin took his opportunity in 2016 as a spot starter and ran with it going into 2017, as he worked his way into becoming the Colts’ No.
