Where does the Indianapolis Colts’ offense rank with offseason programs now behind us?<\/p>\n

Where does the Indianapolis Colts’<\/a> offense rank heading into the upcoming 2025 NFL season?<\/p>\n

Pro Football Network<\/a> recently put together their rankings with offseason programs now behind us, and coming in at No. 21 are the Colts<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Taken into account when putting this list together were yards per play, points per drive, red zone efficiency, and more.<\/p>\n

“There\u2019s some nice depth on Indianapolis’ roster, creating a wide range of outcomes,” wrote PFN. “For example, if Anthony Richardson capitalizes on his raw skills, moving up half a dozen spots in these rankings is certainly possible. But continued struggles could result in a bottom-10 season.”<\/p>\n

Trying to gauge where this Colts’ offense is going to end up this season is a difficult task right now because of the unknowns at quarterback.<\/p>\n

The “open competition” for the Colts’ starting quarterback job has been delayed with Anthony Richardson sidelined for most of OTAs and all of minicamp with a shoulder injury. This then opened the door for Daniel Jones to take all of the first team reps, and Shane Steichen was “very pleased”<\/a> with what he saw.<\/p>\n

But having said that, what happens in late May and early June won’t determine who is starting come Week 1, let alone how that player performs. Even once training camp unfolds, there will still be unknowns at quarterback–regardless of who is under center–until proven otherwise during the regular season.<\/p>\n

Another uncertainty for the Colts’ offense–although to a much lesser extent than quarterback–is how the offensive line unit performs with, presumably, two relatively inexperienced players starting in Tanor Bortolini and Matt Goncalves.<\/p>\n

Consistent play for any offense begins up front with the offensive line unit providing a strong run game to lean on and time in the pocket for the quarterback.<\/p>\n

Now, to not be so doom-and-gloom, there’s a lot to like about this Colts’ offense as well.<\/p>\n

For one, there are still three veteran players along an offensive line unit that was mostly stout last season, and this is a very good skill position group to go along with that.<\/p>\n

Jonathan Taylor ranked fourth in rushing yards last season, while the Colts added Tyler Warren at tight end to provide the passing game with a boost and the offense with a do-it-all presence.<\/p>\n

The Colts were also the only team in football in 2024 to have three wideouts all eclipse 800 receiving yards, and with that trio, it seems to be a much-improved AD Mitchell, given how offseason programs went.<\/p>\n

It’s certainly not far-fetched to think that with even somewhat steady quarterback play, this Colts’ offense can find success this season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Where does the Indianapolis Colts’ offense rank with offseason programs now behind us?
