Indianapolis Colts

[edit | edit source]

On October 5, 2016, Rhodes was signed to the practice squad of the Indianapolis Colts.[6] He was promoted to the active roster on December 7, 2016,[7] where he was listed on the roster as a linebacker, participating mainly on special teams.[8]

During the off-season, the Colts converted Rhodes to a new position, that of long snapper for punts and kickoffs.[8] Rhodes successfully adapted to his new role and on August 28, 2017, was named the Colts' full-time long snapper after winning a training camp competition against rookie Thomas Hennessy.[9]

On April 2, 2018, Rhodes signed an exclusive rights tender with the Colts through the 2018 season.[10]

On June 11, 2019, Rhodes signed a four-year, $4.85 million contract extension with the Colts with $1.25 million guaranteed, making him the highest-paid long snapper in the league.[11] He went on to be named an Associated Press (AP) Second-team All-Pro choice in 2020 and 2021.[8]

In 2021, Rhodes handled long snapping duties in 16 games for the fifth consecutive season. He was named AP First-team All-Pro. Rhodes also became the first Indianapolis long snapper named to the Pro Bowl since Matt Overton in 2013.[12]

On September 8, 2023, Rhodes signed a four-year, $6.465 million contract extension with the Colts, once again making him the highest-paid long snapper in the league.[13]
