Safety Cam Bynum recently explained why he’s optimistic about the 2025 Colts.

Indianapolis Colts‘ safety Cam Bynum is optimistic about this team in 2025. On a recent episode of ‘The Insiders,’ Bynum explained why he feels that way.

“I just think we have a solid team overall,” Bynum said. “Just every position. You can look and see that there’s amazing players at every spot–offense and defense. And for me, I’m biased, looking at the defense I expect a lot out of us with the new DC, with coach Lou being there and just bringing the defense he’s bringing with the aggressive play-style and especially the guys up front.

“We got pass rushers for days, we got linebackers, our secondary is looking really good, so I just expect a lot out of us.”

Naturally, when there are question marks at the game’s most important position like the Colts have at quarterback, there are unknowns and can be skepticism. But as Bynum highlights, there’s also a lot to like about the Colts’ roster as well.

Around whoever is under center is what should again be a stout offensive line unit. Jonathan Taylor was one of the most productive running backs in football last season, and the Colts added a do-it-all tight end in Tyler Warren. At wideout, the Colts were the only team in football last season to have three players all surpass 800 receiving yards.

On the other side of the ball, the Colts boast a deep pass rush rotation, and GM Chris Ballard reshaped the secondary. Lou Anarumo’s scheme, which will be more aggressive and disguise-heavy, should help elevate the play of the entire defense and better position players to make plays.

I say all of that to say this: the Colts don’t need great quarterback play to stack some wins this season. They need steadiness, and the players around the quarterback can help lift his level of play.

“Just the hunger I saw from every single person during OTAs and during the mandatory minicamp, added Bynum. “I just see a spark with this team, and for me, being able to come in and hopefully just be a leader and bring my game to this team, I just expect a lot out of us. I just know, overall, we’re going to have a great season.”
