The reference is to Ray Lewis. After racking up 16 tackles in Sunday's win over the Bills, Freeman is up to 101 in 11 games -- good for fourth in the league. He also has two sacks, one interception he returned for a touchdown and a forced fumbled. The CFL's Most Outstanding Player in 2011, Freeman has turned into an IDP asset.

Jerrell Freeman - LB - Colts

Colts GM Ryan Grigson and head coach Chuck Pagano reportedly believe ILB Jerrell Freeman is a "keeper" for the future.

Freeman has played 590 of a possible 603 defensive snaps this season according to Pro Football Focus. He is also tied for ninth in the NFL in tackles with 73. After Freeman finished as the runner-up for Most Outstanding Defensive Player in the CFL in 2011, the Colts signed him and plugged him right into the starting lineup. Freeman rarely comes off the field with Pat Angerer and Kavell Conner rotating next to him. He's developed into a quality IDP player in his rookie season.
