Indianapolis, IN — The Indianapolis Colts are fresh off another disappointing season, but of course, it wasn’t all bad. There were some individual breakout performances from established players, headlined by wide receiver Alec Pierce, while the Colts’ 2025 draft class provided both production for the season and promise for the future.
This article kicks off a short but sweet series that will recap each of the Colts’ eight 2025 draftees, beginning with their first draft selection, tight end Tyler Warren. We will go through the list in its original order with three phases in mind: post-draft expectations, rookie season results,...

I have never really seen anything like it. Given that it has been thirty years since a team started 8-2 and missed the playoffs and I am thirty-seven, it stands to reason why.

Wild Card Weekend kicked off in the NFL. As always, there was plenty of drama and intrigue. From the storylines, to the Bears’ dramatic come from behind win, to all of the road teams that found success, the first weekend of the playoffs didn’t disappoint. It was a stress free weekend for someone with a team on the outside looking in though.

It didn’t have to be that way. It...
