The Indianapolis Colts will be relying on several of their young players to hold a major role on the field in 2018 as they continue to work through their rebuild.

Some of those younger players include rookies, both drafted and undrafted, that have a shot at making a name for themselves once training camp officially begins on July 25, though the rookies will report on July 22.

Here are four rookies that could surprise at Colts training camp:

Zaire Franklin, linebacker

The Colts finished up their 2018 draft crop with a pair of linebackers and among them was Franklin, who was the final pick for the team in the draft.

With the Colts linebacking corps up for grabs at just about every spot, Franklin has a chance to solidify his role at training camp, especially after seeing some solid reps during the spring.

He had a decorated career with Syracuse and the Colts have been impressed with his leadership, maturity and skill set. He will have a chance to prove his worth at training camp.

Chris Cooper, safety

With Malik Hooker and Clayton Geathers seemingly still recovering from their respective injuries, there will be opportunities for other safeties to present their case for a roster spot.

Cooper, a hard-hitting safety from Stony Brook, could be a surprise in training camp once the pads come on and the Colts begin their few full-contact practices.

The Colts like their safety group but Cooper will be using training camp as a way to prove he belongs on the roster to add depth to the secondary.

Steve Ishmael, wide receiver

Also hailing from Syracuse, Ishmael brings something to the Colts wide receiver room that they have been searching for this offseason: size.

At 6-foot-2 and 212 pounds, Ishmael brings a red zone option to the offense if he can prove to be a consistent contributor during training camp and the preseason.

Ishmael broke the receiving yards record at Syracuse, previously held by Colts legend Marvin Harrison. If that is any precursor, the team will be happy to send him out on the field, especially with Andrew Luck expected to return.

Skai Moore, linebacker

Possibly more of a hybrid safety, Moore arrives in Indianapolis after playing four years at South Carolina. He also recorded 14 career interceptions during his time as a Gamecock.

Linebacker interceptions aren’t something the Colts have been used to but while they switch to a new defensive scheme, one that prioritizes pass coverage, Moore becomes an intriguing name.

Moore might be undersized but his career work at South Carolina is enough to make him a sleeper to make the roster when its all said and done.
