Sharpe would go on to catch 41 of those passes in that most recent season, averaging 14.4 yards per catch with three touchdowns.

Could Raylen Sharpe make a roster push with the Colts?
While the depth chart behind Alec Pierce and Josh Downs still has to shake out, it is a fairly crowded wide receiver room at the moment, with Ashton Dulin, Deion Burks, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Anthony Gould, and Laquon Treadwell all looking to carve out roles. Also, with Sharpe being primarily a slot wideout, the Colts already have Downs and Gould on the roster.
