There's a lot of intrigue surrounding the Indianapolis Colts ahead of the new season. In particular, eyes have been peeled for Jonathan Taylor following what was a breakout year for the 23-year-old running back. In his mind, however, Taylor believes that it's not just him who the rest of the NFL should be worried about.

The All-Pro RB was quick to point out that teammate Nyheim Hines has been making waves in camp thus far. According to Taylor, he and Hines are going to be a handful this season (via Jeremy Fowler of ESPN):

“It's going to be a lot to defend,” Taylor warned.

Colts head coach Frank Reich could not agree any more. The 60-year-old shot caller has previously indicated that he expects a heavier workload for Hines this year. Reich reiterated this notion as he talked up what Hines brings to the table:

Based on what we've seen from him in camp thus far, it is clear that all this talk about Nyheim Hines is anything but lip service. He's been catching a lot of passes in practice, and it looks like the Colts are serious about using him heavily this coming season — be it alongside or behind Taylor.
