  • Colts' Trey Sermon: Poised for backup role

    With the Colts not taking a running back in the 2024 Draft, Sermon and Evan Hull are the primary backups to starter Jonathan Taylor, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.

    It was a mild surprise that the Colts didn't draft a running back or sign a prominent undrafted free agent to compete for the starting role. It's possible the Colts will sign a veteran free agent this spring for depth, but at this point Sermon could have a prominent backup role. He rushed 35 times, including 17 carries in Week 15, for 160 yards to go along with three catches for 13 yards with Indy last season.

  • Colts' Alec Pierce: Competition for starting job

    Pierce and 2024 second-round draft pick Adonai Mitchell will compete on the outside for the No. 3 receiver role in training camp, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

    Pierce has been the starting deep threat for the Colts the last two campaigns but without much production (just 32 receptions for 514 yards and two touchdowns last season). While that may have been due to poor quarterback play and a game plan that didn't throw the ball deep, it has opened the door for a dynamic talent like Mitchell to compete for his job. Mitchell, the former Texas and Georgia receiver, dazzled at the NFL Scouting Combine (4.34-second 40-yard dash, 136-inch broad jump) following a productive end to his Longhorns career (55 catches for 845 yards and 11 touchdowns on 92 targets in 2023).

  • Colts' Jonah Laulu: Snagged by Indianapolis

    The Colts selected Laulu in the seventh round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 234th overall.

    Laulu is projected to be the Colts' final player in their 2024 NFL Draft class, and he profiles to be a run-staffing lineman. He began his collegiate career at Hawaii before transferring to Oklahoma. Indianapolis is fairly deep at tackle -- led by DeForest Buckner -- so Laulu may need to find another roster to ultimately stick as a pro.

  • Colts' Micah Abraham: Yet another corner to Indy

    The Colts selected Abraham in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 201st overall.

    That now makes three corners selected in a row by the Colts, who predictably opted not to bolster the positional group throughout the first two days of the draft. A three-year starter at Marshall, Abraham is undersized (5-foot-9), but he does have a natural instinct to break for the ball, as evidenced by his 55 career collegiate pass breakups. Indianapolis needs one of these corners to emerge as a key piece for 2024.

  • Colts' Jaylin Simpson: Fifth-round target for Indy

    The Colts selected Simpson in the fifth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 164th overall.

    Simpson is listed as a safety but at 6-feet, 179 pounds he's tiny even by cornerback standards. With that said, the Auburn product also boasts athletic testing that grades highly by cornerback standards. Simpson's 4.45-second 40-yard dash and 39.5-inch vertical will definitely play at corner, and the same is true of his outstanding reach (32 and 3/8-inch arms). Perhaps Simpson is a bit of a project for the Colts, but these are raw materials that can clearly refine into something useful with a little luck.

  • Colts' Jaylon Carlies: Goes to Indy in Round 5

    The Colts selected Carlies in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 151st overall.

    Carlies is the latest draftee from a Missouri defense that was loaded with NFL talent in 2023. A safety, Carlies checks in at 6-foot-2 and 227 pounds with 4.5 speed. He showed good playmaking skills with nine career interceptions, but he's also a willing tackler with at least 60 stops in each of his final three seasons. At that size, Carlies can play in the box and close to the line of scrimmage, but there are questions about his coverage ability.

  • Colts' Anthony Gould: Added by Indy

    The Colts selected Gould in the fifth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 142nd overall.

    Gould will join Adonai Mitchell as rookies in the Colts' receiver room, though Gould is far less likely to make an immediate offensive impact. He didn't break out until his fifth season with Oregon State, when he posted 44 receptions for 718 yards and two touchdowns. However, Indianapolis may have opted for Gould due to his skills on special teams, as he was an elite punt returner with the Beavers -- earning All-American and All Pac-12 Honors in 2022 after leading the nation with a punt return average of 18.3 yards.

  • Colts' Tanor Bortolini: Lands in prime spot with Indy

    The Colts selected Bortolini in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 117th overall.

    With stalwart center Ryan Kelly entering the final year of his four-year extension signed back in 2021, Bortolini appears to be the heir apparent to take over the position next year. Wisconsin has produced a long lineage of productive offensive linemen in recent years with Joe Tippmann, Tyler Biadasz and Travis Frederick all warranting high picks at the position, and Bortolini should continue that trend in 2025.
