The Indianapolis Colts are hoping to return from their summer break on July 28 for training camp, barring any changes. We will be previewing the majority of the roster as the summer progresses.
Name: Kemoko Turay
Position: DE
Height: 6-foot-5
Weight: 248
Age: 24
Free Agent Year: 2022
Background
Turay was poised for a breakout campaign in 2019 and while it seemed he was heading that way through the first half of the season, a broken ankle against the Kansas City Chiefs ended that dream early on. Entering his third season, Turay has high hopes to once again be a big part of the pass rush while putting it all together.
Expected Role
With Justin Houston working on one end of the defensive line, it is likely that Turay will be working opposite him the most on the other side of the line. The Colts love what Turay brings in terms of his speed rush. They feel he’s a perfect complement on the edge and they proved that by not adding anything of import to the room this offseason.
2020 Outlook
Turay is in for another campaign as a breakout player. The Rutgers product has to prove he can stay healthy. He dealt with a shoulder injury during his rookie campaign and then ha the unfortunate luck of the broken ankle in 2019. If He can prove that he can stay healthy, the 2020 season should be a strong one for the 24-year-old.
Turay brings an element of speed and bend to the edge that the Colts don’t have much of in the defensive end room. His skill set is needed if the pass rush is to be a consistent threat each and every week.
Bottom Line
Turay is in for another potential breakout season as long as he can stay on the field. The Colts love his skill set so much that they didn’t bring in anyone to compete for his starting role. He will certainly be a player to watch once the regular season begins.
