The Indianapolis Colts are an American football professional team situated in the city of Indianapolis. The Colts are a part of the National Football League’s American Football Conference South division. The Colts have played their home games at Lucas Oil Stadium since 2008.
Here are The Top 10 Indianapolis Colts Players For The 2021 Season
1. Quenton Nelson
In just three seasons, Quenton Nelson has established himself as one of the best players in this League. Nelson’s greatest season was last year, when he played 16 games and allowed just one sack and five quarterback hits.
Nelson is a monster in the run game, setting the tone for the rest of the offensive line to follow. He is a top-notch athlete who enjoys finishing blocks.
2. DeForest Buckner
Last year, Buckner had eight sacks, 13 quarterback hits, and 22 hurries. On the season, he had more quarterback hits than the entirety of the Colts’ defensive line. Buckner is a premier interior pass rusher and a top-tier defensive tackle in the NFL.
3. Ryan Kelly
There finally was recognized for one of the finest centers in the league in 2020. The Colts have had Ryan Kelly on their roster since Chuck Pagano’s era, and he doesn’t look like he’ll be leaving anytime soon. Kelly is a powerful runner who thrives in the open field. A versatile blocker, Kelly is well-suited to the Colts’ dual-attack rushing strategy
4. Grover Stewart
As an inside defensive lineman, Stewart was among the league’s most effective in 2020, but his pass-rush ability is still questionable.
Stewart was eighth in the NFL among defensive linemen with 27 sacks in the run game. He’s one of the finest inside players in the game, and that speaks well for the spread-out style that the NBA is adopting.
5. Braden Smith
For the whole season, Smith allowed just one QB hit and zero sacks. Smith had an excellent 2020 season. Jonathan Taylor, the team’s rookie running back, benefited from his excellent run blocking, which he maintained throughout the game. In 2021, he was excellent, but he still let up 23 hurries in the passing game, despite this.
As long as he can reduce that number and eliminate the rare bad rep late in games, he can quickly rise to the position of one of the league’s best right tackles.
6. Mark Glowinski
Offensive linemen like Mark Glowinski often find themselves labeled as “weak” because of their position. Glowinski hasn’t been poor at all during his stay in Indianapolis. He’s a fantastic run blocker, but he may be erratic when it comes to pass blocking.
7. Eric Fisher
Fisher, who is presently rehabbing from an Achilles surgery, is still a very good left tackle in the NFL, despite the fact that he allowed three sacks and eight quarterback hits last season.
Fisher’s passing abilities may be a tiny step back from Anthony Castonzo’s, but his prowess in the running game should be a huge asset to the squad.
8. Tyquan Lewis
Until 2020, Lewis was an inconsistent player. As a pass rusher, he concluded the season with five sacks and 16 hurries, which was a career high for him.
Starting in 2021, Lewis is likely to be the left defensive starter. This year’s mini-breakout can help him establish himself as a must-keep for the 2022 free agent market.
9. Al-Quadin Muhammad
Al-Quadin Muhammad, the Colts’ defense’s Zach Pascal, is an average NFL player. He’s a solid defender of the run, but he’s also a capable pass rusher on occasion. To go from role player to real threat in the passing game, he needs to build on his infrequent glimpses of brilliance.
10. Antwaun Woods
During the offseason, the Indianapolis Colts rushed to sign Antwaun Woods as a free agent defensive tackle. Woods isn’t a pass rusher, but he’s a strong and athletic run defender who can hold his own when the game is on the line.
