Once the seventh round of the 2024 draft concluded, reports quickly emerged regarding undrafted free agents agreeing to deals. A number of quarterbacks have already found a home, and that includes Kedon Slovis agreeing to terms with the Colts (h/t NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero). 
The 23-year-old began his career at USC, and he stormed onto the scene in 2019. That season, he threw for 3,502 yards while recording a 30:9 touchdown-to interception ratio. As a result of that production, Slovis earned Freshman Player of the Year honors and was named a freshman All-American. Things did not go according to plan after that point, however.
Slovis was limited to 15 games over the following two seasons due to the pandemic and a leg injury. That was followed by a transfer to Pitt, and a single campaign there did not yield the desired results. Slovis then transferred once again, moving to BYU. He again struggled with turnovers as a Cougar while missing four games due to injury in 2023. To little surprise, then, he did not hear his name called this weekend.
Indianapolis already has the QB1 gig accounted for with Anthony Richardson. The team lost effective backup Gardner Minshew in free agency, something which prompted the signing of veteran Joe Flacco. The latter will be counted on to provide capable play under center should Richardson once again miss time through injury in 2024. Slovis will compete for the No. 3 role alongside 2021 sixth-rounder Sam Ehlinger.
Not content to only bring Slovis into the fold at the QB, the Colts have also brought in Jason Bean. The North Texas and Kansas alum has also been signed as a UDFA, per his agency. Bean made 30 starts in college, and 2023 marked his best season with the Jayhawks (2,130 yards, 18 touchdowns) He and Slovis will look to earn a roster spot on what is suddenly a crowded quarterback depth chart in Indianapolis.
