The Indianapolis Colts on Thursday signed Demarco Cox, a former basketball player who did not play college football.

Cox, who is 6 feet 8 and 294 pounds, played four years of basketball at Mississippi, including a medical redshirt, and finished as a graduate transfer at George Tech this season. His career ended last week in the ACC tournament.

Cox, who is a cousin of Philadelphia Eagles defensive lineman Fletcher Cox, continues a trend by the Colts, who also have former basketball players Joe Reitz and Erik Swoope on the roster.
