Christine Michael

Michael has bounced around the league during his first three seasons, receiving stints in Dallas, Seattle and Green Bay. He began last season with the Seahawks, where he rushed for 469 yards and six touchdowns on 117 attempts in nine games. While the totals were solid, Seattle decided to part ways with the 26-year-old in favor of C.J. Prosise and Thomas Rawls. He then landed in Green Bay for the final six games of the season, providing the Packers with a fiery 114 yards and one touchdown on 31 attempts. However, he once again found himself as the odd-man out after the Packers selected two running backs in April's draft. Michael clearly has the intangibles to be a solid rusher in the league, but continues to find himself on teams with plenty of potential backfield talent. The same issue could arise in Indy, as the Colts have capable producers in Robert Turbin and Josh Ferguson behind starter Frank Gore. In addition, the team selected Marlon Mack in the fourth round of the draft. It appears as if Michael will have to beat out at least one of these backs during training camp if he wants to call Indianapolis his new home.
