The Indianapolis Colts may currently be amidst a fast track to implosion, but they’ve maintained enough individual success throughout the regular season that NFL fans far and wide are noticing.
The NFL held its first round of fan voting for the 2025 Pro Bowl Games this past week, with several Colts players emerging as top vote-getters in their respective position groups. We’ll see if this recognition continues after the next round of voting, as Indianapolis just dropped its third game in four tries. Even though these are inherently individual nods, team success is often a factor in voters’ analysis.
With that being said, below are the Colts players who have received top 10 votes for their position group:
Offense
Quarterback Daniel Jones (6th)
Running back Jonathan Taylor (1st)
Tight end Tyler Warren (2nd)
Guard Quenton Nelson (2nd)
Defense
Defensive tackle DeForest Buckner (9th)
Free safety Camryn Bynum (7th)
Strong safety Nick Cross (8th)
Running back Jonathan Taylor has remained a strong candidate for this year’s AP Offensive Player of the Year Award. His production has fallen in recent weeks, yet he’s still the leader in the clubhouse among major statistics for his position. Taylor’s 1,282 rushing yards and 15 rushing touchdowns lead all rushers, and were good enough to earn the 4th-most total votes (25,134) from the early voting window.
The Colts had only three representatives at the 2024 Pro Bowl Games — linebacker Zaire Franklin, guard Quenton Nelson, and running back Jonathan Taylor — and even those three nods were a bit shocking due to the communal disappointment that was this past season.
Given the aforementioned sinking ship that the Colts appear to be on, bringing a light to individual efforts in a stretch that’s brought collective failure may be counterproductive. However, this roster is comprised of talented football players who have balled out; therefore, recognition is in order. So long as they get back on track, praising those who deserve it won’t be a problem moving forward.
