Tanor Bortolini, drafted by the Indianapolis Colts with the 117th pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, exceeded expectations in his rookie season, showing promise as a potential starting center. With versatility honed from starting 28 collegiate games at Wisconsin, Bortolini has the ability to play across the offensive line. Standing at 6'4" and weighing 303 pounds, he demonstrated elite athleticism during the combine, ranking in the 90th percentile in most metrics.

As a rookie, Bortolini backed up veteran Ryan Kelly, making five starts and logging 351 offensive snaps without conceding a sack. His performance was recognized by Pro Football Focus, which rated him the 18th center in overall blocking efficiency. Though he needs to work on his strength to improve in the run game, his awareness and ability as a help blocker suggest he could develop into a standout player for the Colts.
