As the Indianapolis Colts look ahead to the 2025 NFL Draft, enhancing their running back depth is crucial, especially considering the talented class available. With over 30 running backs holding draftable grades, the Colts have a wealth of options to explore. Last season, the contribution from backup backs was minimal, further emphasizing the need for a dynamic pass-catching presence to complement Jonathan Taylor.

In 2024, several standout prospects emerged, particularly in receiving capabilities. Notable names include LeQuint Allen from Syracuse, who led with 78 targets, and Mario Anderson Jr. from Memphis and Jaydon Blue from Texas, both showcasing their receiving prowess and potential to elevate the Colts' offense significantly.
