The Indianapolis Colts are sporting a pretty deep roster going into the 2022 season, showcasing a nice bend of high-end, elite talent with some intriguing depth pieces ready for bigger roles.
In preparing for the 2022 season, Pro Football Focus named the top-three players on each team. For the Colts, it was pretty obvious who those three players are: left guard Quenton Nelson, linebacker Darius Leonard and running back Jonathan Taylor.
Landing two players such as Nelson and Leonard in one draft doesn’t happen often, as both are among the NFL’s best players at their respective positions. Nelson ranks second among all guards in PFF’s WAR metric since 2018, and Leonard ranks fifth at the linebacker position.
Those two are joined above by Taylor, who was the league’s top running back last season. His combination of size, speed and vision led to an 87.0 PFF grade in 2021 — the best at the running back position.
