Colts Sign Former Seahawk Kristjan Sokoli to Practice Squad

The Indianapolis Colts announced on Monday that the team has signed defensive end Kristjan Sokoli to their practice squad.

Originally a 6th round pick of the Seattle Seahawks in the 2015 NFL Draft, the 6’5″, 300 pound Sokoli appeared in 1 game for his former team this past season, only at offensive guard instead. He was the first Albanian-born player to play in an NFL game.

Nevertheless, Sokoli was released by the Seahawks in late August as part of the team’s 75-man roster cuts.

The Colts will convert Sokoli back to the defensive line; however, where he played full-time at the University of Buffalo. The former Bulls standout appeared in 10 games during his senior season, recording 32 tackles and 3 tackles for loss.
