INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — There was never a doubt in Camryn Bynum’s mind where he wanted to be once the free agency offers started coming in last week. The Indianapolis Colts were at the top of the list.

The four-year safety made the decision official last Monday — agreeing to a four-year, $60 million deal at 4 a.m. Filipino time. That’s right. The newest member of the Colts defense spends the offseason living in the Philippines with his wife. So as the deals were getting done in the afternoon Eastern Standard Time, Bynum was sitting “crisscross” in his bed, weighing his options before ultimately choosing the Colts.

But even before the legal tampering period opened, Bynum had his eyes on the Horseshoe. He talked with multiple current and former Colts to get their take on the organization — including cornerback Stephon Gilmore, who he played with in Minnesota last season.

“I reached out to (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 got a positive recommendation from current Colts linebacker Segun Olubi. The two went to high school together and continue to be great friends and training partners. Olubi even traveled to the Philippines to help Bynum with his football camps during the offseason.

“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 Vikings defense the last four years, racking up 342 tackles, eight interceptions and four fumble recoveries during that time. He started getting national attention when his in-game coordinated celebration dances with teammates went viral on social media — his most memorable moves coming from movies like White Chicks, Parent Trap and High School Musical. Even the behind-the-scenes videos during his rehearsals gained major attention.

But what people didn’t see was all the work he put in to get moments worth celebrating.

“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 said he’s ready to bring that energy to the Colts defense this season.
