Colts Unveil Jersey Numbers for New Free-Agent Signings

The Indianapolis Colts started free agency with a bang near the beginning of March, bringing in seven new outside free agents. They've all been publicly introduced as new members of the team, and the addition of each player has been addressed from every angle. Now, the real critical info is out: their jersey numbers.

All joking aside, jersey numbers being assigned for new players is entertaining for the fanbase, if not only for the purpose of buying said jersey.

On Wednesday afternoon, the Colts posted on social media announcing the jersey numbers for cornerback Corey Ballentine, safety Camryn Bynum, defensive tackle Neville Gallimore, running back Khalil Herbert, quarterback Daniel Jones, and cornerback Charvarius Ward.
