Now in his third year as an Indianapolis Colt, former Ohio State Buckeye Malik Hooker is a key cog on an improved defense. The 6-foot-2, 213-pound safety has proven to be the right pick at No. 15 in the 2017 NFL Draft, as he’s been a focal point to a shored up secondary. With that […]

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck missed all of 2017 with an injury. It was so severe that some speculated he would never throw a football again. However, Luck returned in 2018 and promptly turned Indianapolis back into a winner. After going 4-12 the previous season without him, Luck led the Colts to a 10-6 record […]

The Indianapolis Colts are considered a trendy Super Bowl pick by many, but that does not mean they are a team without issues. One big hole on the club could be its pass rush, as they totaled just 38 sacks as a unit in 2018. The Colts did add Justin Houston over the offseason, but […]

Kenny Moore and Pierre Desir of the Indianapolis Colts donated thousands of dollars to a Go Fund Me account for the funeral services of Madi Moore, a young fan who passed away earlier this week, according to Dana Hunsinger Benbow of the Indianapolis Star.

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack flew under the radar for much of this past season, finally earning some recognition after gashing the Houston Texans for 148 yards and a touchdown in the Divisional Round of the playoffs. But the fact of the matter is that Mack was really good all year long, rushing for […]

As a rookie last season, Indianapolis Colts linebacker Darius Leonard turned heads from the start, stringing together an impressive campaign. Ultimately becoming the league’s top defensive rookie, Leonard now has his sights set on some even bigger goals for his sophomore season in 2019. However, it will surely be tough to top his production from […]

[…]

Last season there was a lot of speculation about Peyton Manning could possibly take a TV gig as an announcer for NFL games. However, the reports were that he was continuously rejecting them. Although many had a strong speculation as to what was causing it, nothing was ever confirmed – until now. According to Mike […]

The Indianapolis Colts come into the 2019 season with a chip on their shoulder. Frank Reich enters his second season as the head coach after having a successful first season at the helm in 2018.

The New England Patriots notably selected former Arizona State Sun Devils wide receiver N’Keal Harry with the No. 32 overall pick in the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft. Despite the fact that Harry has yet to officially step foot on the gridiron at the highest level, the soon-to-be rookie wideout is already receiving […]

Last season was a rough one for Indianapolis Colts tight end Jack Doyle. He showed a lot of chemistry with Andrew Luck in 2016, so he was hoping for a breakout when Luck returned in 2018. Instead, his year was ruined by injuries and he ended up appearing in only six games. He also had […]

The Indianapolis Colts could be the best team in the AFC South as the 2019 offseason continues to unfold. However, the Colts will have their hands full with the Jacksonville Jaguars, Houston Texans and Tennessee Titans each reaching the playoffs at least once in the last two seasons. Luckily for the Colts, quarterback Andrew Luck […]

Indianapolis Colts general manager Chris Ballard has some high praise for former running back Edgerrin James, who believes he should be in the Hall of Fame. As a guest for Peter King’s Football Morning in America, Ballard wrote the following: “I think Edgerrin James not being in the Hall of Fame does not make sense […]

The Indianapolis Colts were the toast of the 2018 NFL season. After starting the year 1-5, they went on to win nine of their last ten games to make the playoffs. They even won a road playoff game at Houston. Colts GM Chris Ballard was widely praised for his job constructing the roster and for […]

Indianapolis Colts general manager Chris Ballard has changed the NFL a bit with the way he does, and we might see more teams start to follow his suit. One of the first things that Ballard did after taking over the job was to hire Brian Decker, a former Green Beret who helps with the interviewing […]

A former Colts defensive lineman and current Alabama football staffer landed in jail Saturday morning after his second DUI in two and a half years. Josh Chapman was booked into Tuscaloosa County Jail after being arrested by Tuscaloosa police. A defensive lineman from Hoover who played with the Crimson Tide from 2007-11, Chapman has been […]

The 2018 season saw the Colts accomplish what many thought was impossible (or at least very improbable), making the playoffs with quarterback Andrew Luck returning from injury. They did so, though, largely without the services of tight end Jack Doyle, who dealt with a number of injuries. But the hope is that Doyle will be […]

The Indianapolis Colts benefitted heavily from the return of quarterback Andrew Luck last season. Perhaps no one enjoyed having the quarterback more than wide receiver T.Y. Hilton. In 2017, Hilton had the worst year of his career since his rookie year back in 2012. He had just 57 receptions for 966 yards and four touchdowns. […]

The 2018 NFL season was a positive one for the Indianapolis Colts as they took a stride forward under Frank Reich. Andrew Luck came back with a vengeance and helped the Colts offense return to being a high-powered unit. So just how good can the Colts offense be in 2019? To keep it short, simple, […]

Buffalo Bills running back Frank Gore has long been in the final stretch of his career. It seems he does not plan on stopping any time soon. The 36-year-old is entering his 15th season in the NFL.

The Indianapolis Colts enjoyed a bit of a resurgence last season. Regardless, head coach Frank Reich knows they still have their work cut out for themselves if they hope to stay atop the AFC South. The division has undergone some significant changes this offseason. According to Alex Butler of the United Press International, Reich admits […]

Tom Brady made abundantly clear last season that he’s still one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL. But even the most biased New England Patriots fans would have to admit that their quarterback, nearly two decades since he was drafted and firmly into his forties, is playing at a level decidedly below his peak. […]

Super Bowls are not easy to come by in the NFL for any position. Ask Dan Marino. Marino is regarded as one of the best quarterbacks in NFL history but in his 17-year career—the Lombardi Trophy eluded him. Football is the ultimate team sport where you need all 53 guys on your roster to do […]

The Indianapolis Colts are coming off of a 2018 campaign in which they won 10 games and made it to the Divisional Round of the playoffs, where they ultimately fell to the Kansas City Chiefs. But going in 2019, the Colts are a trendy Super Bowl pick in the AFC, and with Andrew Luck under […]

Going into 2019, we know that Andrew Luck and Drew Brees are two of the league’s elite quarterbacks, and I don’t think anyone is going to dispute that. Both guys put up big numbers and both of their respective teams should be in the running for a Super Bowl this year largely because of them. […]

The Colts’ 2018 draft class will likely go down as one of the best in team history if for no other reasons than Quenton Nelson and Darius Leonard. Both earned All-Pro honors last season, and Leonard was Defensive Rookie of the Year. But don’t forget about receiver Deon Cain, the sixth-round pick. The Colts sure haven’t. […]

For the past few years, everyone has considered DeAndre Hopkins, Odell Beckham Jr. and Julio Jones “must-haves” in fantasy football. Forgotten among the rest, TY Hilton has been one of the best performers in terms of fantasy as well. In 2018, the Indianapolis Colts’ playmaking wide receiver totaled 163 points in ESPN standard leagues. His […]

The Indianapolis Colts didn’t make a ton of moves this offseason, with their addition of pass rusher Justin Houston representing their headline signing, but they acquired one player who could bolster their offense in a big way: wide receiver Devin Funchess. The move flew under the radar a bit, especially with guys like Odell Beckham […]

Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich was not shy about expressing his desire to keep quarterback Jacoby Brissett around for the 2019 NFL season. It appears he is on the same page a general manager Chris Ballard. Ballard made it clear that it would take quite a deal in order to convince them to trade […]

The Indianapolis Colts were not sure where they planned to play Ben Banogu when they took him in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft. Fortunately, it appears they now have a better idea of his position moving forward. Banogu had started at linebacker during rookie minicamp before the Colts moved him to defensive […]

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Jacoby Brissett had once again been the subject of some trade speculation this offseason. Fortunately, head coach Frank Reich is happy about Brissett’s status for the 2019 NFL season. Brissett is set to test the waters of free agency after the season.
