The Indianapolis Colts are actively seeking to bolster their running back corps, having scheduled meetings with notable prospects Ollie Gordon II from Oklahoma State and Ashton Jeanty from Boise State. With Jonathan Taylor shouldering a hefty workload, averaging over 20 carries per game, the Colts are looking for a complementary piece to alleviate some of that pressure. Gordon, a downhill runner with impressive college stats, including 2,920 rushing yards and 36 touchdowns in three seasons, could be a viable option.

Notably, Gordon not only excels in rushing but also possesses solid pass-catching and blocking ability, which is crucial for helping quarterback Anthony Richardson. The Colts might part ways with Trey Sermon, who struggled significantly as a backup, accumulating only 159 yards on 56 carries. With the upcoming draft, the Colts' strategy under Chris Ballard and head coach Shane Steichen will be pivotal in enhancing their backfield depth, particularly in finding a reliable backup for Taylor.
