Colts Defense Gets a Boost from Bynum's Viral Dance Moves

The Indianapolis Colts received a boost when safety Camryn Bynum agreed to a four-year, $60 million deal last Monday. But before making his decision official, Bynum spent some time weighing his options while living in the Philippines with his wife.

"I reached out to (Stephon Gilmore) during the process to say, 'Okay, what'd you think about it?' He said, 'For your type of personality, you're a family person. You're laid back. I think that's a place for you,'" Bynum said. "That's the first thing I saw when I got here — just how tight knit everything is, and just how personable everybody is... Once everything fell down to it, I felt for sure this is the place I need to be."

Bynum also received a positive recommendation from current Colts linebacker Segun Olubi, who he went to high school with.

"That's somebody I consider a real friend that I've been knowing since high school, so it's really cool being teammates with him, especially the type of person he is – a dog and a worker like myself so we can really relate," Bynum said.

Bynum was an impact player for the Minnesota Vikings defense over the past four years, racking up 342 tackles, eight interceptions, and four fumble recoveries. He gained national attention for his in-game coordinated celebration dances with teammates, which went viral on social media.

"I pride myself on being one of the hardest workers in the room," Bynum said. "Putting in so much extra work, being a leader, leading by example, not a super rah-rah guy, but somebody that's always going to be consistent being in the right spots on the field but also off the field, being somebody that's really locked in in the meeting room and keeping my head down, focused during the week. It doesn't seem like it because obviously, I'm really out there in the media on Sundays, but during the week, I'm locked in because I want to be able to earn those moments, to be able to have fun on the field on Sunday."

Bynum is ready to bring his energy and work ethic to the Colts defense this season.
