Theย Indianapolis Coltsย signed Daniel Adongo to a one-year contract under the impression that the Kenyan rugby star could develop into a productive NFL rush linebacker.
Four months in the experiment, theย Coltsย haveย decided to add Adongoย to their 53-man roster.
Theย Coltsย made the move Tuesday, adding Adongo and offensive lineman Xavier Nixon from the team’s practice squad. Indy made room by placing linebackerย Mario Harveyย and running backย Dan Herronย on injured reserve.
Adongo represents a great curiosity — a 23-year-old graced with tremendous size, speed and strength, but with a complete absence of American football background. Theย Coltsย landed Adongo after a rugby agent, based in Hong Kong, reached out to the organization about having interest in one of his clients.
Robert Klemko of TheMMQB.com wroteย a compelling featureย in September detailing the backstory of Adongo and theย Colts.
Don’t expect Adongo to be an immediate impact player on Indianapolis’ defense. Still, Tuesday counted as more progress in the intriguing linebacker’s development.-nfl.com
