Jonathan Crawford was a durable, playmaking Indiana DB who defined reliability
In his Indiana career, Jonathan Crawford was the kind of defensive back coaches love: a four-year starter who never missed a game, piled up 275 tackles and nine interceptions, and earned three honorable-mention All-Big Ten nods. His differentiators were versatility, ball skills, and a high football IQ — he added 19 pass breakups, seven fumble recoveries, a pick-six, and two blocked kicks, so he wasn’t just tackling, he was changing games. For a team, that profile screams dependable, physical, and instinctive.
