AFC Notes: Colts, Texans, Titans

Colts

New Colts CB Stephon Gilmore commented on why he decided to sign with Indianapolis after a long offseason that saw him visit several different teams.

“It is a good fit for me,” Gilmore said, via Lou Bezjak of the Charlotte Observer. “I like the organization. I like the coaches. It was a good decision for me and I just felt it was the best place for me. I plan on going out there and competing, and make plays on the ball. I got a clean slate and I’m looking forward to the opportunity. . . . I can’t wait to get there.”
