8/04/25	Colts Rookie Report: D.J. Giddens competing for snaps behind Jonathan Taylor, previewing preseason game vs. Ravens. It's also notable because Giddens, in 2024, dropped five of his 32 targets at K-State. "It looks real natural," head coach Shane Steichen said. Catching the ball is one thing; what Giddens can do when the ball gets in his hands is another. It was less of a question for him leading up to the draft, though, as he had over 1,200 rushing yards in each of his last two collegiate seasons.

8/02/25	Training Camp Notebook: Colts focus on red zone with some important context. The focus for the Colts was on dropback passing in the red zone, offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter said; the Colts in 2024 ran the ball on 57 percent of their red zone plays, the third-highest rate in the NFL. Running the ball will remain key in the red zone for this offense, with running back Jonathan Taylor and a big, mobile quarterback behind center no matter if it's Jones or Richardson.

7/22/25	Jonathan Taylor prepared to drive Colts offense amid quarterback competition. If you look up the word "workhorse", there's a good chance you'll come across a picture of Jonathan Taylor. The running back has built up a reputation across the NFL as one of the best high-volume running backs, and last season solidified just how dominant he can be. In 2024, Taylor was one of six running backs in the NFL to carry the ball over 300 times – 303, to be exact – and one of two running backs (Saquon Barkley) to have multiple rushing touchdowns of 65 yards or more. In total, Taylor tallied 1,431 rushing yards for 11 touchdowns – and that's with missing three games due to an ankle injury. Source: https://www.colts.com/news/jonathan-taylor-colts-t...

7/17/25	The Colts Show Mailbag: Jonathan Taylor on third and long, 2025 run defense, Tyler Warren's role as a rookie. Jeff Hickman (Terre Haute, Ind.): Why did we try to run the ball on 3rd and long so much last season, aren't we better off throwing a long shot and having some kinda chance? JJ Stankevitz: Jeff has a good eye here, which allows me to get deep into the weeds on this – which is exactly where I want to be in mid-July. Jonathan Taylor led the NFL in rushing attempts on third down with seven or more yards to go in 2024 (he had 12 such attempts). But let's dig into these numbers a bit to answer the second part of Jeff's question here about throwing the ball past the sticks in an attempt to get a first down. Seven of those 12 runs came in extremely disadvantageous situations for the Colts' offense, Source: https://www.colts.com/news/the-colts-show-mailbag-...
7/15/25	Colts 2025 Training Camp Preview: The non-QB position battles. What to watch in training camp: We'll go position group by position group here, again after quarterback, which we covered on Monday. Running back: Behind Pro Bowler Jonathan Taylor, look for the returning Tyler Goodson to compete with free agent Khalil Herbert and fifth-round pick D.J. Giddens for roles within the Colts' offense. Taylor carried 303 times in 2024 despite missing three games due to injury; his backups last year combined to average 3.5 yards per attempt on 88 carries.

6/09/25	Colts' Jonathan Taylor gets $21 million contract update compared to Saquon Barkley. Jonathan Taylor's payday is coming. It'll be a pivotal one for the Indianapolis Colts to decide on, because teams often don't pay running backs the big contract these days. NFL.com's Anthony Holzman-Escareno wrote recently that Taylor is the most likely RB to secure a giant extension in the near future. "In 2021, Taylor became the youngest player in the Super Bowl era to win the rushing triple crown, leading the NFL with 332 carries, 1,811 rush yards and 18 rush touchdowns at 22 years old," Holzman Escareno writes.
