As the Indianapolis Colts gear up for the 2025 NFL Draft, defensive tackle Alfred Collins from Texas stands out as a potential target. Collins, a versatile player who has logged nearly 1,900 snaps, brings considerable size at 6'5" and 332 pounds, complemented by impressive athleticism. In 2024, he recorded 18 pressures and one sack, earning a notable run defense grade from PFF, ranking him 12th among interior defenders. His ability to draw double teams opens opportunities for teammates, making him a valuable asset for the Colts' defensive line.

The Colts currently rely on their strong starters, DeForest Buckner and Grover Stewart, but lack depth behind them. With unsigned free agents like Taven Bryan and Raekwon Davis performing poorly last season, adding a player like Collins could enhance their rotation. Head coach Shane Steichen emphasized the importance of depth on the defensive line, as fresh legs are crucial for maintaining a high level of play throughout the season.
