The Indianapolis Colts have added linebacker Hunter Wohler, their final selection in the 2025 NFL Draft, a strategic move to enhance their defensive flexibility. Previously a safety at Wisconsin, Wohler is expected to transition to linebacker, a position where versatility is crucial for modern defenses. His experience lining up in various roles—free safety, strong safety, and occasionally in the box—gives the Colts depth in two critical areas: safety and linebacker.

Wohler's tackling skills and run defense have been consistent throughout his college career. However, concerns linger about his coverage abilities in the NFL. With the Colts under defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo, it is anticipated that Wohler could play a significant role in dime packages, especially considering the increasing prevalence of passing scenarios in the league. His smart play and experience on special teams, where he logged significant snaps, further bolster his value to the Colts’ roster.
