Corey Ballentine Fantasy Stats

The Indianapolis Colts signed former Green Bay Packers cornerback Corey Ballentine to an undisclosed one-year deal on Friday, according to the Indianapolis Star's Joel A. Erickson. The move to add Ballentine comes after the Colts spent big bucks early in free agency earlier this week to add to their secondary when they brought in free safety Camryn Bynum and cornerback Charvarius Ward. Ballentine, 28, has mostly been a core special-teamer in his career since being drafted in the sixth round (180th overall) by the New York Giants in 2019 out of Washburn College. He played more the last two seasons with the Packers, seeing action in 29 games, but only seven of those were starts. Ballentine put up 49 tackles (34 solo) the last two years with one interception and a forced fumble. The Colts will likely be looking to use Ballentine to upgrade their special teams first.

New York Giants cornerback Corey Ballentine has been a camp standout thus far, and Monday's practice was no different. Ballentine was rewarded during Monday's practice, getting first-team reps during 11-11 drills. One of the Giants biggest questions heading into the season is the battle in the secondary, which currently has six rookies who have never taken a legitimate NFL snap before. "I feel like I'm definitely catching up," Ballentine said following Monday's practice. "Things are slowing down for me as I get more reps."
