Indianapolis Colts rookie linebacker CJ Allen will wear the green dot on his helmet in Week 9, designating him as the defensive play-caller for the first time in his NFL career. The move signals the coaching staff's confidence in Allen's ability to communicate adjustments and lead the defense on the field.
Allen, a rookie drafted for this specific role, has progressed through the season to earn the responsibility. The green dot allows him to receive play calls from the sideline and relay them to teammates.
