The Indianapolis Colts have signed another free agency cornerback. On Friday, the team announced that they had signed Corey Ballentine.
The Colts now have a versatile and seasoned cornerback who can also contribute on special teams.
Ballentine was a sixth-round pick by the New York Giants in the 2019 NFL draft. He’s appeared in 69 games during his six-year career with 11 starts. Ballentine has spent the last three seasons in Green Bay.
Ballentine would mostly provide the Packers’ secondary with depth, but during the 2023 season, he made six starts and filled in well, allowing a completion rate of 59% at 13.7 yards per catch with an interception and four pass breakups, according to PFF. While mostly a boundary cornerback, the Packers did give Ballentine some reps in the slot as well.
