There are a lot of questions concerning the current state of the Indianapolis Colts’ cornerback room with a ton of young players fighting for roster spots and playing time.
Among those players, second-year cornerback Dallis Flowers, a 2022 undrafted free agent out of Pittsburg State, is looking to capitalize on the opportunity for serious playing time.
Pick 6 for Dallis Flowers in 7-on-7 against Gardner Minshew. Nice catch by the young CB, who was backpedaling and had to leap to make the play. #Colts

Flowers played in 13 games, starting one, in 2022 and has gotten reps with the ones during the spring sessions due to the fact that second-round pick, Julius Brents, is recovering from wrist surgery. Meanwhile, fifth-round pick, Darius Rush, dealt with a hamstring injury, and Isaiah Rodgers is under investigation for potential gambling violations.
Veteran, Kenny Moore, has taken notice of the second-year player’s aggressiveness so far.
“I like Dallis Flowers’ aggression and how the way he’s been able to gel with everybody in the room,” Moore told the media at minicamp. “I think if you have the camaraderie and you have the togetherness in your play, then it’ll take you further along than just your skills.”
Moore, an undrafted free agent in 2017, added his excitement of being able to play alongside the 2022 undrafted free agent in Flowers.
“He has the skillset to play and that’s why he plays. I’m very excited to play with Dallis.”
When the Colts gather for training camp later in the summer, Flowers will have a chance to compete for a starting outside corner job. That position battle with certainly be one of the most competitive in training camp.
