Barnwell puts Indy 14th on a list of young talent. tip to Kuharsky
14. Indianapolis Colts
The Colts don’t have much in the way of young star power, but no team does a better job of finding effective, low-upside players to fill roles that they don’t want to spend money on. In a given year, the Colts will turn over a spot or two on their offensive line, introduce a rookie into the passing game and start four players making the minimum or close to it on defense. Last year, injuries forced Austin Collie and Pierre Garcon to fill big roles on offense, while the defense had two undrafted free agents at defensive tackle and two rookies at cornerback. These players almost always disappoint when they go play somewhere else, which suggests that it’s the system and not the talent, but that doesn’t detract from the brilliance of Bill Polian and company.
