He proved himself to be a very useful and dangerous weapon for head coach Shane Steichen. However, Downs recently acknowledged that he left some plays out there on the field last year, per Around The NFL. “I have some little things I can improve on in route releases…I left some plays on the field last year…I’m trying to identify coverages better,” the former North Carolina Tar Heel told the team’s official site this week.

Indianapolis was in the market for a star pass rusher, and they took one in the first round of the NFL Draft who reportedly has already made a lifelong commitment to the team in an unorthodox way. The Colts took UCLA edge rusher Laiatu Latu 15th overall last week, and he already has a huge Colts logo tattooed on his shoulder, much to the delight of ..read more

(Photo by Rob Carr/Getty Images)   The 2024 NFL Draft is officially in the books and the Indianapolis Colts should be considered one of the major winners after their impressive haul.

Indianapolis then maneuvered around the board a bit and somehow were able to get Adonai Mitchell at No. 52 overall, a massive get considering some projected him to go late in the first round.

Their quarterback situation and never-stopping carousel have held them back more often than not, but it seems like they’re finally heading in the right direction.

(Photo by Rob Carr/Getty Images)   The NFL seems to be in a good place these days, but there are plenty of people who don’t like the current product the league has to offer. According to them, the game is too soft, quarterbacks are too protected, and it is too hard for defensive backs to defend opposing wide receivers, among other things. Those people now will have something new to complain about: the NFL’s new ban on hip-drop tackles. Former Indianapolis Colts star pass rusher Dwight Freeney said that if he were playing today, he would simply continue to perform hip-drop tackles and pay ..read more

Perhaps they had proved themselves so much that they didn’t even have much left in the tank. That’s why they decided to go in an entirely different direction this time, taking a leap of faith and swinging for the fences by drafting Anthony Richardson, the biggest wild card in last year’s draft. Richardson drew many concerns and praise. He’s a gifted athlete with the potential to be a disruptive two-way ..read more

(Photo by Emilee Chinn/Getty Images)   Andrew Luck’s NFL journey was cut short. One of the most entertaining players to watch during his playing days, the Stanford product shockingly decided to retire just days before the start of the season. Some Indianapolis Colts fans felt betrayed and even booed him, but he’s mostly beloved and respected. Also, it was easy to understand his decision, as the Colts had infamously allowed him to take sack after sack and big hit after big hit, and his body just couldn’t hold up anymore.
