It looks like Khari Willis is ready to roll for his first NFL season.
Willis had a successful career at Michigan State as a safety with the Spartan defense. He accumulated 189 total tackles, seven TFL, three sacks, and three interceptions over his career. The Indianapolis Colts selected Willis in the fourth round of this year’s NFL Draft after he wrapped up his collegiate career.
Now, Willis is in preseason camp getting ready for his rookie season. He is also making plays during a dual-squad practice with the Cleveland Browns.

Willis intercepted starting quarterback Baker Mayfield with a nice move on this play. Willis was sitting back in coverage over the middle of the field, and Mayfield never located him.
It turned out to be an easy pick that Willis took back the other way:

Hopefully, Willis can get a good bit of playing time in his first year with the Colts.
