Camryn Bynum: facts drawn from the play-by-play.
From midround pick to four straight full seasons as a starting safety - and now a Colt.

Combined tackles (solo + assist) by season
| Season | Combined tackles |
|---|---|
| 2021 | 28 |
| 2022 | 75 |
| 2023 | 121 |
| 2024 | 88 |
| 2025 | 78 |
A 4th-round pick in 2021 who spent his rookie year as a depth piece (7 games). Then four straight 17-game seasons. The 2023 tackle total (121 combined) was a top-15 safety mark league-wide.
The move from Minnesota to Indianapolis in 2025 came with a 4-year, $60M deal in free agency. The early returns are exactly what the Colts paid for: 4 INTs in 17 games, his second-most in a season, and an 8-PD output. He's now the highest-paid player on Indy's defense at his position.
4 INTs in two different seasons (2022, 2025) - and a 7-INT total over the past two years.
MilestoneBynum two-year INT totals (2024-25)
| Year | Team | G | PDs | INTs |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | MIN | 17 | 10 | 3 |
| 2025 | IND | 17 | 8 | 4 |
| Combined | - | 34 | 18 | 7 |
18 PDs and 7 INTs over the past two seasons. That's a 38.9% INT-per-PD conversion rate - well above average for the position.
The 2025 INT total (4) is notable because he didn't have Brian Flores's exotic-blitz scheme generating chaos coverages anymore. Indianapolis runs a much more conventional defense; Bynum is producing in it on his own.
In 2023 he had 121 combined tackles - one of the league's most prolific run-support safeties.
ComparisonBynum's tackle workload by year
| Year | Solo | Assists | Combined | Per game |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2021 | 20 | 8 | 28 | 4.0 |
| 2022 | 43 | 32 | 75 | 4.4 |
| 2023 | 78 | 43 | 121 | 7.1 |
| 2024 | 46 | 42 | 88 | 5.2 |
| 2025 | 47 | 31 | 78 | 4.6 |
The 2023 explosion (121 combined) was the contract-year version. Then 2024 settled to 88 - still solid - and 2025 in Indianapolis is 78 through 17 games.
The per-game number drop from 7.1 to 4.6 over two years is significant. He's playing more deep coverage now, less alley-fill. Indianapolis pays him for the ball production, not the tackle volume - and the trade-off has shown up cleanly in the splits.
Minnesota Bynum was a tackle-machine. Indianapolis Bynum is a ball-hawk.
SplitPer-stop per-game rates
| Stop | G | Tackles | Assists | PDs | INTs | INT/G |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Minnesota (2021-24) | 58 | 187 | 125 | 28 | 10 | 0.172 |
| Indianapolis (2025) | 17 | 47 | 31 | 8 | 4 | 0.235 |
In Minnesota: 0.172 INTs per game (10 in 58 starts). In Indianapolis: 0.235, an upgrade of 37%.
The combined-tackle pace dropped from 5.4/game in MIN to 4.6/game in IND. He's seeing fewer plays at the line. That's the modern free-safety profile: fewer tackles, more takeaways, which is exactly what teams pay $60M for. The early returns on the contract are good.
He's tied for 8th-most INTs by any DB over the past two seasons.
RareBynum's 7-INT 2024-25 vs his peers
| Player | INTs 2024-25 |
|---|---|
| Kevin Byard | 12 |
| Kerby Joseph | 11 |
| Xavier McKinney | 10 |
| Camryn Bynum | 7 |
| Byron Murphy | 8 |
Across 2024-25, Bynum's 7 INTs over 34 games put him among the league's high-volume takeaway safeties.
What the trajectory says: 4 INTs in 2022, 2 in 2023, 3 in 2024, 4 in 2025. He hasn't had fewer than 2 INTs in any full season of his career. The Colts are getting a player whose ball production is the most predictable part of his game.
He has played every game for four consecutive seasons - a unicorn at his position.
AnomalyGames played per year
| Year | G | Possible |
|---|---|---|
| 2021 | 7 | 17 |
| 2022 | 17 | 17 |
| 2023 | 17 | 17 |
| 2024 | 17 | 17 |
| 2025 | 17 | 17 |
68 of a possible 68 games since he became a starter in 2022. That's iron-man territory at safety, where league-average availability is closer to 14 games per year.
The Colts paid him for the production - but the availability is what makes the deal work. A 4-year contract with a player who has missed 0 games in 4 years carries a different risk profile than one who has missed 3-5 per year. That's the under-the-hood reason he ended up on the open market with multiple suitors.
