6. Indianapolis Colts
SHOOK: I was surprised to see Indianapolis end the defensive player drought at No. 15 when they chose Laiatu Latu, not because he wasn’t deserving of such a selection, but because I thought they might look elsewhere. Instead, the Colts took an edge rus ..read more

The Colts’ latest draft pick is the newest installment of their established pass rush pipeline.
The Indianapolis Colts have no doubt fortified its defensive line with the addition of UCLA EDGE Laiatu Latu. An already deep front, Latu only strengthens the services the Indy DL has to offer.
The draft selection of Laiatu Latu continues what has seemingly been a coincidence-turned-trend which has now evolved into a pipeline of sorts. Coach Eddy McGilvera, otherwise known as Coach Ed on social media for being a well-regarded trainer who specializes in pass rush ..read more

The Indianapolis Colts boasted the 3rd youngest roster in the NFL in 2023 and are returning nearly 80% of its output.
Heading into the 2023 NFL season, the Indianapolis Colts provided the league’s T-3rd youngest roster with a 25.4-year-old average. Initially led by 21-year-old rookie starting QB Anthony Richardson, the team’s ability to rally behind veteran QB Gardner Minshew across the latter half of the year proves this roster has more dogs than pups as it’s portrayed.
During that run, the injured reserve grew jealous of all the attention the players were g ..read more

The Colts have some new toys on both sides of the ball. Who are you looking forward to seeing the most?
The Indianapolis Colts completed the 2024 NFL draft and have some new weapons on both sides of the ball. The draft grades came in and the results were mixed. Most “experts” had the Colts with decent but not excellent grades. The back half of the draft is always a bit of a crapshoot, while the third and fourth rounds saw the Colts take offensive linemen which lacks in the overall level of appeal for most fans. For me, the real excitement came early in the draft ..read more
