The Colts have parted ways with a player known best for his rare speed.
Running back Jeff Demps, an Olympic medalist as a sprinter, was one of four players waived by Indianapolis on Monday, the club said.
The Colts had signed the 25-year-old Demps to a reserve/future contract in January. He also had a stint on the Colts’ practice squad last season. Demps had previously spent time with Tampa Bay and New England.
Demps was a member of the U.S. 4x100 relay squad that won a silver medal in London in 2012.
In addition to Demps, the Colts waived wide receiver Kadron Boone, defensive end Gannon Conway and offensive tackle Matt Hall. Boone, Conway and Hall all entered the NFL as undrafted free agents in 2014.
