The Indianapolis Colts have signed a new leader for the defensive line after Charlie Partridge left for Notre Dame.
University of Arkansas defensive line coach, Marion Hobby.
As Matt Zenith at CBS Sports points out, Hobby has plenty of tires to Lou Anarumo, so this hiring makes a lot of sense.
Since Anarumo was hired last year, he's had a massive influence on which defensive players the Colts acquired in the draft and free agency.
Charvarius Ward was signed to a three-year, $54 million deal after showcasing fantastic abilities throughout his career with the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers.
As for Justin Walley, the Colts shocked by taking him in the third round out of the University of Minnesota.
Despite this, Walley looked excellent during training camp, elevating to run with the first team defense.
However, his encouraging potential was derailed. Justin Walley suffered a torn ACL in a joint practice with the Baltimore Ravens, ending his year before it could start.
With Hobby, the Colts will get a vastly experienced coach with an impressive resume. Below is a list from the Razorbacks' website that showcases what he brings to Indianapolis.
