In an early 2025 NFL mock draft from Draft Wire, the Indianapolis Colts added to the linebacker position in the first round.
With the 15th pick overall, the Colts selected Georgia linebacker Jalon Walker.

At 6-2 – 245 pounds, Walker has played just under 1,000 career snaps, 574 of which have come this season. He’s been utilized as a blitzer, generating 28 pressures this year–the third-most among all lineba ..read more

The Indianapolis Colts may be on their long-awaited bye week, but where do they fall in the NFL’s Week 14 power ranking roundup?
Coming off a last second win over the New England Patriots, the consensus has the Colts jumping up multiple spots in just about all of this week’s power rankings.

With the Indianapolis Colts on their bye week, let’s take a peek ahead to the 2025 offseason, and what their salary cap situation might look like.
