One of the most confusing storylines that plagued the Indianapolis Colts throughout the 2021 season was the lack of usage for running back Nyheim Hines.
After signing a three-year extension, Hines was expected to continue his role as a versatile pass-catcher while spelling Jonathan Taylor at times between the tackles.
But the arrival of quarterback Carson Wentz last offseason meant Hines was working with a passer who historically refused to target the running back position. That led directly to a plummet in Hines’ production.
