12. Daniel Jones<\/p>\n
Indianapolis Colts \u00b7 Year 7<\/p>\n
2025 stats: 13 games | 68.0 pct | 3101 pass yds | 8.1 ypa | 19 pass TDs | 8 INTs | 164 rush yds | 5 rush TDs | 9 fumbles<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, neither quarterback was able to finish out the 2025 campaign, as Jones suffered a season-ending torn Achilles in Week 14, while Mahomes tore his ACL in Week 15.<\/p>\n
Prior to his devastating injury, having paired with Colts head coach Shan Steichen, Jones was in the middle of a career year. He had completed 261 of 384 total pass attempts (68.0%) for 3,101 total passing yards, 19 passing touchdowns, and 8 interceptions during his first 13 starts, before his debut campaign in Indy was cut short.<\/p>\n
He also had 5 rushing touchdowns.<\/p>\n
Jones was well on his way to earning legitimate Pro Bowl honors, where he was named an alternate, even after the season-ending injury.<\/p>\n
With Jones behind center, the Colts once boasted a historic, league-leading offense before his injuries struck\u2014having also fractured his fibula during\/after Indianapolis\u2019 win at Berlin in Week 10.<\/p>\n
Even though Jones is a pending free agent, and remains currently rehabbing from his torn Achilles, both sides appear eager to get a multi-year contract extension inked sooner rather than later. It was reported earlier this past weekend that those contract negotiations are expected to begin between both sides very soon.<\/p>\n
It would be very surprising if the Colts\u2019 nearly fringe Top 10 NFL starting quarterback from last year isn\u2019t back in Indianapolis for at least the next few seasons.<\/p>\n
For what it\u2019s worth, Colts replacement quarterbacks Philip Rivers (3 starts) and rookie Riley Leonard (1 start) were ranked 36th and 47th overall from 2025 respectively.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"12.
