Standing 6’4″ and nearly 250 lbs., Indianapolis Colts second-year quarterback Anthony Richardson is a specimen to behold even in a league that’s full of them. Touted as one of the best pure athletes to ever play the quarterback position — a distinction that was backed up by off the charts scores at the NFL Scouting […]

In 2023, the Indianapolis Colts found themselves the unlikely team that finished out the season with a winning record despite losing their starting quarterback for all but four games. Now granted, the Colts did have one of the better backup quarterbacks in the game in Gardner Minshew, who rookie head coach Shane Steichen knew very […]

The Indianapolis Colts feel like a team that is being slept on heading into the 2024 NFL season. Many NFL fans stopped paying attention to the Colts after Anthony Richardson went down with a season-ending injury early in the year. But that didn’t stop Indy from having a successful season. Without their rookie QB, the […]

The 2024 Indianapolis Colts roster is a strong group that should be able to compete for a playoff spot despite being in the getting-tougher-by-the-day AFC South. While the team’s ultimate success or failure likely rests on the (hopefully fully healed) shoulders of quarterback Anthony Richardson, there are several hidden gems on the 2024 Colts roster […]

The Indianapolis Colts were so close to making the playoffs in 2023. They were 16 yards and a Tyler Goodson drop away from making the postseason despite being ravaged by injuries. Rookie quarterback Anthony Richardson missed 13 games and Jonathan Taylor was absent for seven. But Indianapolis should be better this year, especially if they […]

Anthony Richardson’s rookie campaign with the Indianapolis Colts was somewhat encouraging, despite the fact he only played in four games before he suffered a season-ending shoulder injury. Heading into the 2024 season, it’s reasonable to expect Richardson to take a step forward, assuming he can stay on the field this time around. Richardson is recovering […]

The Indianapolis Colts are expecting big things out of Anthony Richardson in 2024. Their young QB’s health will be a major focus of the season, which depends largely on his offensive line. One Colts offensive lineman spoke out recently against the concept of an 18-game NFL regular season. Ryan Kelly, the Colts Pro Bowl center, […]

There was little doubt that the Minnesota Vikings would sign superstar wide receiver Justin Jefferson to a long-term contract extension, but that didn’t stop other NFL teams from inquiring about a trade for the 2022 NFL Offensive Player of the Year. Before Jefferson inked a monster deal with the Vikings on Monday, at least three […]

The Indianapolis Colts have a serious need for talent in the secondary. Their four defensive starters of JuJu Brents, Kenny Moore II, Julian Blackmon, and Nick Cross are solid, but the Colts seriously lack depth at every position. The problem was recently magnified with the news that one of Indy’s 2023 rookies suffered the second […]

The state of Indiana has found its new stars. It used to be Peyton Manning and Reggie Miller among other college stars like Larry Bird and Ray Ewry that had the Hoosier State all riled up. Now, Caitlin Clark, Tyrese Haliburton, and Anthony Richardson are raising the banner of this sports-crazed Midwestern culture. The Indianapolis […]

When the Indianapolis Colts finished their 2024 NFL Draft at the end of April, they came out with nine total picks.

With the release of all 32 NFL teams’ schedules, teams like the Indianapolis Colts now know what lies ahead of them for the upcoming 2024 season. From the jump, the Colts get right into a division matchup against the Houston Texans and CJ Stroud in Week 1 on September 8. That, of course, is a […]

The Indianapolis Colts are betting a lot on quarterback Anthony Richardson, who had his rookie season cut short due to a shoulder injury, and some have voiced concerns regarding his run-heavy play style leading to injuries, but he made it clear that he does not believe he needs to make a change. “I don’t think […]

The Indianapolis Colts quarterback room features ages from both ends of the spectrum. While franchise signal-caller Anthony Richardson is barely old enough to drink, backup Joe Flacco is old enough to have adult children. Richardson has enjoyed poking fun at Flacco’s age during OTAs, via Colts reporter Larra Overton. “Anthony Richardson, who turns 22 today, […]

The Indianapolis Colts have quietly made some great offseason moves over the past few months. The Colts feel like they are lying in the weeds, not widely considered a contender to win the AFC South thanks to the rise of CJ Stroud and the Texans. However, the Colts could find themselves fighting for the AFC […]

Now that the 2024 NFL Draft is well over, it’s time for teams like the Indianapolis Colts to start figuring out their eventual 53-man roster. It’s true what they say: the NFL season is a 365-day-a-year job. Just ask any general manager, like the Colts’ Chris Ballard. He and the team have been hard at […]

The NFL schedule release took place earlier this week, and the Indianapolis Colts now know what their regular season is going to look like. The Colts are hungry for a big year, and Indianapolis fans are excited for the season. Here are predictions for their entire regular season slate. Week 1 vs. Houston Texans The […]

The Indianapolis Colts were one play short of making the playoffs last season. Their star quarterback Anthony Richardson was available for only four games and they still finished 9-8 on the year. This is a good team with a strong roster from top to bottom. Perhaps a few tweaks after the 2024 NFL Draft can […]

Zaire Franklin is one of the key players on the Indianapolis Colts’ defense and with the emergence of CJ Stroud and the Houston Texans in 2023, he did not hold back when talking about how much he is looking forward to facing them next season, while downplaying facing the Tennessee Titans. “No, because I already […]

Andrew Luck’s net worth in 2024 is $40 million.

Let’s look at Andrew Luck’s net worth in 2024. What is Andrew Luck’s net worth in […]

The Indianapolis Colts feel like a forgotten team in the AFC South. Indianapolis had an impressive start to the 2023 NFL season, winning three of their first five games. Those two losses came in an overtime loss against the Rams and a 31-21 loss in Week 1 to the Jaguars. Anthony Richardson breathed new life […]

Historically, NFL teams have rarely shied away from developing players with slight character concerns. By that token, the Indianapolis Colts recently made headlines for drafting Texas wideout Adonai Mitchell, who has been called “un-coachable” by anonymous sources. Ballard spoke further about the 6-foot-4, 196-pound target on Tuesday, via The Pat McAfee Show. “We do our […]

The Indianapolis Colts got one of the steals of the draft on Friday night when they selected wide receiver Adonai Mitchell with the 52nd overall pick of the 2024 NFL Draft. Mitchell was considered a borderline first-round pick, but he ended up falling all the way to the back half of the second round. While […]

Day 2 of the 2024 NFL Draft is officially in the books, and there was quite a bit of action that went down. After a huge run on offensive players in the first round, the pendulum swung the other way, as there was a much larger focus on the defensive side of the ball. Perhaps […]

While everyone is talking about how many offensive players were taken early in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft, it’s hard not to notice the lack of defensive players drafted. Thankfully, the Indianapolis Colts decided to break the draft trend and picked the first defensive player in the draft. With the no. 15 […]

As the 2024 NFL Draft draws closer, the pressure to make a huge splash is building in war rooms everywhere.

The 2024 NFL Draft was set to begin at 8 p.m. ET in Detroit, Michigan with all eyes focused on the top five, including where former Ohio State football star Marvin Harrison Jr. will likely end up.

With each passing minute, the beginning of the 2024 NFL Draft inches closer, and the expectation among those in the know is that there could very well be some fireworks within the opening ten picks of the night. The only thing set in stone as we speak right now is that the Chicago Bears will […]

The 2024 NFL Draft is kicking off this Thursday, which means it’s high time for teams across the league to come up with trade plans involving their pick (or picks). Not every team needs to pull off a trade, but there are certainly others who feel the urgency to make at least one. 5 teams […]

The Indianapolis Colts have the No. 15 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, but that’s not stopping owner Jim Irsay of dreaming about Ohio State star Marvin Harrison Jr. Irsay recently admitted “great” interest in Harrison in an interview with Mike Chappell of Fox 59. Of course, the problem is Harrison will likely go in […]

After a better-than-expected 2023 NFL regular season, the Indianapolis Colts are driven by determination and underscored by a slightly bitter taste of narrowly missing the playoffs.

Former Indianapolis Colts defensive end Dwight Freeney was on Keyshawn Johnson’s show called “All Facts No Brakes” and talked about his illustrious career where he played from 2002 all the way to 2017. Having recorded 125.5 sacks in his career, the topic was brought up of the toughest quarterbacks to bring down and he had […]

The Indianapolis Colts are looking to keep pace in a suddenly competitive AFC South division with the Houston Texans and Jacksonville Jaguars in the upcoming 2024 campaign. While they haven’t made explosive moves like their competitors have in free agency, they have managed to keep some of their star players in town, and they managed […]

It’s been five years since Andrew Luck left the Indianapolis Colts. In a recent public appearance, Luck mentioned to reporters that the thought of returning to the league after his retirement never crossed his mind. “When I retired, that part of it was put to bed in my mind,” he said, via ESPN’s Stephen Holder. […]

Anthony Richardson is coming back. The Indianapolis Colts star missed most of his rookie season due to a shoulder injury he suffered. While his time last season was short, Richardson showed a lot of promise in his play. Seen as a “raw” prospect during the draft process, AR showed more polish than scouts gave him […]

As the 2024 NFL offseason continues and teams start to recalibrate their rosters for the upcoming campaign, the Indianapolis Colts find themselves at a critical juncture.

Carolina Panthers defensive tackle Derrick Brown cashed in big-time on Friday, inking a four-year, $96 million extension.

Vontae Davis was a great friend and an even greater competitor. He started to carve a name for himself with the Illinois Fighting Illini despite having offers from Maryland, Virginia, and Michigan State. The NFL was the next challenge and he conquered that well too. His impact was felt when he joined the Miami Dolphins, […]
