“They are all great quarterbacks, and they are all different players, so just as many reps as you can get with a bunch of different guys is only going to help us and help the team,” Warren told reporters in June.

Woah.

This vague response was sent to the Stampede Blue staff after learning the Chicago Bears chose tight end Colston Loveland over Tyler Warren with the tenth overall pick in April’s NFL Draft. Michigan’s Loveland was perceived as a bigger threat in the passing game, opposed to Warren’s more versatile skill set at Penn State. Chicago’s first-year head coach...

DeForest Buckner earned this yearly honor, yet again.

According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, Indianapolis Colts veteran defensive tackle DeForest Buckner once again cracked the NFL’s top 10 defensive tackles in an annual survey of league executives, coaches, and scouts—at the 8th overall spot:

8. DeForest Buckner, Indianapolis Colts

Highest ranking: 2 | Lowest ranking: unranked

Age: 30 | Last year’s ranking: 7

The tallest player on this list (6-foot-7) continues to play big, averaging 8.4 sacks per season since 2018.

“The most underrated defensive player in the league,” a high-ranking AFC...

The Colts’ cornerback room is perhaps its deepest unit on the defensive side of the ball.

Indianapolis, IN — The conclusion of Independence Day weekend means that training camps across the NFL are soon to kick off festivities. As in many such cases, the position battles from quarterback to longsnapper will be in abundance leaguewide.

As for the Indianapolis Colts, one of the more intriguing position rooms to watch for during the preseason is the cornerbacks. While presumed CB1, Charvarius Ward, is slotted to lead the pack, the battle for his running mate should be fun.

Third-year CB Jaylon Jones...

Colts free agent safety Julian Blackmon surprisingly has yet to find a new NFL home...

According to ESPN’s Matt Bowen, Indianapolis Colts free agent safety Julian Blackmon still remains one of their top available players—coming in as the 12th best available free agent overall:

12. Julian Blackmon, S

2024 team: Indianapolis Colts | Age entering 2025 season: 27

Blackmon had three interceptions in 2024, and he has seven over the past two seasons. There’s post and deep-half range on his tape, which fits in every system. He also has 85-plus tackles in each of the...

The Colts continue to boast one of the league’s elite offensive line units, even in the aftermath of some change.

Despite some key losses, PFF still ranks the Indianapolis Colts as having a Top 5 offensive line headed into the 2025 campaign—with the 5th best spot:

5. Indianapolis Colts

The Colts watched center Ryan Kelly and guard Will Fries depart to the Vikings in free agency, but this unit is still among the best offensive lines in the league.

Indianapolis may be home to the top left tackle-left guard pairing in the NFL. Left guard...

Taylor is in a good spot to put up big numbers.

Jonathan Taylor has had some serious ups and downs during his career. From a monster sophomore season that saw him play every game while eclipsing 1,800 yards to holding out for a better contract and missing a ton of time due to a repaired ankle, Taylor has played the hero and the villain as an Indianapolis Colt. After struggling in his third and fourth year to stay on the field, 2024 looked more like the Taylor fans saw in 2021. Currently, he appears to be closer to last year’s...

The Colts have a competition to watch at their starting right guard spot this training camp and preseason.

The Indianapolis Colts officially kick off team training camp in a few weeks at Grand Park in Westfield, Indiana, and there are at least a few training camp positional battles to watch.

We’ll take a look at starting right guard here.

The Favorite - Matt Goncalves

While the Colts haven’t formally named Goncalves the starting right guard yet, it appears as though he’s the clear frontrunner—and it’s currently his job to lose.

The former 2024 3rd round pick of the...

It’s the dog days of summer as we approach Colts training camp.... how are you feeling? (Besides increasingly hot)

It’s officially the ‘dog days of summer,’ as for the Indianapolis Colts, free agency and the NFL Draft have passed—while we’re still a few weeks away from team training camp.

The Colts have already proclaimed that there will be an open starting quarterback competition between the incumbent, 3rd-year pro Anthony Richardson, and new free agent challenger, veteran Daniel Jones.

Richardson has the past experience and familiarity of playing for head coach Shane Steichen over the past two seasons, while Jones has...

The Colts enter the season with a strong starting safety tandem, but depth at the position is lacking.

The Indianapolis Colts head into the 2025-26 season with a strong starting tandem back deep defensively, though questions surround the position’s longevity based on the group currently slated to back them up.

The Colts’ defensive philosophy saw a rebrand with the transition to defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo. Anarumo’s new staff, in particular, brings an influx of experience coaching the backend.

Anarumo himself has extensive experience coaching defensive backs, but so does new Defensive Backs Coach Jerome Henderson and Passing Game Coordinator/Secondary Coach...

Smith is an important piece of the Colts offense, so his return is highly anticipated.

Braden Smith had quite the 2024. His journey on the field was cut short with the Indianapolis Colts as he had to seek treatment for his OCD. It was so bad that he considered retirement and even taking his own life. Missing the last five games of the season was the furthest thing from his mind as he battled his religious scrupulosity (from of OCD that diverts from typical religious practice). Smith is back with the team, however, and looking to return to form.

Smith...

Looking at this year’s depth chart, at least on paper, it seems like the starting positions are pretty much set, barring injuries or surprises. Other than the quarterback battle, which will be well documented, there are a few roles on the team that are up for grabs, and a strong training camp will help these player’s chances of securing meaningful playing time.

Neville Gallimore, defensive tackle

Gallimore has not lived up to his potential as a third round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. As an undersized defensive tackle he understandably struggles a bit against the run, but his...

The Colts have some promising young wideouts, particularly as it relates to running these respective routes.

According to PFF, two young Indianapolis Colts wideouts, Josh Downs and Alec Pierce, excelled at the flat/speed out and post route respectively in the passing game during 2024.

Specifically, each was among the highest graded wide receivers this past season when compared to their peers regarding each respective route:

Flat/Speed Out (min. 5 Targets)

1. Josh Downs, Indianapolis Colts (85.9)

2. Khalil Shakir, Buffalo Bills (80.4)

3. Wan’Dale Robinson, New York Giants (79.4)
