2025 Indianapolis Colts roster preview: IDL Devonta Davis
With offseason programs now behind us, we will be getting a jump start on our training camp preview by going player-by-player through the Indianapolis Colts' 91-man roster.
Going alphabetically, up next is defensive tackle Devonta Davis.

2024 PFF grades
2024 Season Review
Davis signed with the Colts after the 2025 NFL draft as an undrafted rookie. After playing his first four college seasons at Jackson State, Davis played his final year at Florida Atlantic.
During this most recent season, Davis totaled 13 pressures and one sack. His pass rush production during his career won't leap off the stat sheet with the 20 pressures that Davis totaled in 2022 being a career high.
However, his greatest impact came as a run defender, where he routinely graded out well by PFF's metrics. Out of 200-plus defensive tackles, Davis ranked 53rd in run defense grade and 92nd in run-stop rate.
Looking ahead to the 2025 season
When it comes to the depth behind DeForest Buckner and Grover Stewart, there are some unknowns for the Colts. For one, they need improved play behind those two, but how that playing time shakes out or who makes the final roster still remains to be seen.
With that said, with Neville Gallimore, Tim Smith, Eric Johnson, and Adetomiwa Adebawore all competing for that playing time and roster spots, that's a lot of players that Davis has to jump on the depth chart.
Perhaps with the question marks around the depth at this position, Davis has a clearer path to make a roster push than other UDFAs, but my guess at this time is that his ceiling this season is likely the practice squad.

Anatomy of a QB failure, plus the rookie with an eerily similar profile to Jefferson
Inside: Thoughts on the Colts quarterback situation and the rookie receiver who might be this year's Justin Jefferson. We'll start today with Mike Sando on a sticky QB situation. This article is from Scoop City, The Athletic's NFL newsletter. Sign up here to receive it directly in your inbox. When Anthony Richardson turned to his left during the Colts' preseason opener, away from unblocked Ravens pass rusher David Ojabo, he committed an error so basic that coaches around the NFL knew what was coming next. Anthony Richardson has exited the Colts' preseason game after taking a sack from David Ojabo. Daniel Jones is now in at QB for Indianapolis. 🎥 @nflnetwork | H/T @StevePalazzolo_ — The Athletic (@TheAthletic) August 7, 2025 'The Anthony Richardson experiment is over,' one predicted, as quoted in my recent 2025 Quarterback Tiers survey. The Colts made it official Tuesday when they named Daniel Jones the starter over Richardson, who could go down as one of the biggest first-round QB busts in the history of first-round QB busts. Advertisement The reckoning for that decision is yet to come. Much will be said about the Colts making a short-sighted move because third-year coach Shane Steichen (17-17 record) and ninth-year GM Chris Ballard (62-69-1) are under pressure to win right now. But there is a bigger reality at work here: Steichen would lose credibility in the locker room if he declared Richardson the starter in the absence of any evidence that Richardson is ready to handle any aspect of the job. Richardson's scholarship is up. It's a big blow to a 2023 first-round QB class also featuring C.J. Stroud and Bryce Young. Back to you, Jacob. I grew up watching my dad run a leadership course called 'Play to Win.' It taught me the difference between playing to win and playing not to lose; the former is focused on maximizing positives, the latter on minimizing negatives. After failing to develop Richardson, Steichen hopes Jones can stabilize the floor (and save his job). It's playing not to lose 101. Steichen began his tenure in Indianapolis by playing to win. The former offensive coordinator, hired after immediate success with Justin Herbert (2020) and Jalen Hurts (2021-2022), bet on a player whose talent was so rare 'it might not come along for another 50 years,' according to one scout. Had this worked, Richardson — who is built like Derrick Henry at 6-foot-4, 244 pounds, ran a faster 40 than Henry and might have one of the strongest arms in NFL history — becomes the Colts' franchise passer, and the search since Andrew Luck's retirement mercifully ends. Steichen bet on his ability to develop Richardson. He failed. Taking a 20-year-old quarterback with just 13 starts in college is risky, especially in the first round. For perspective, Herbert started 42 college games before working with Steichen, while Hurts had played in part of 56 college games, plus had a full season of NFL experience. Advertisement Richardson's completion percentage in his final year of college (53.8) and injury history (at least four injuries in the two years prior to the 2023 draft) foreshadowed what was to come. But Steichen had faith. 'I think you can help accuracy, I definitely do, with mechanics. And I think part of it is the scheme you put them in. Don't make them think too much, and simplify the offense and build it around the quarterback,' said Steichen a month prior to drafting Richardson at No. 4. If any quarterback needed the Packers' approach of sitting rookie passers for three years, it was Richardson. The Colts brought in Gardner Minshew, but they still rushed Richardson into the starting role. The results were predictable. Injuries and inaccuracy plagued the now 23-year-old who has just 15 of a possible 34 games. His career completion percentage, 50.6, is a league-worst 16 percentage points below what an average NFL passer would complete in similar situations, per Next Gen Stats. Richardson's work ethic, leadership and toughness have also been challenged, with GM Chris Ballard telling The Athletic '[Richardson] was drowning,' and that he wishes the Colts had let Richardson sit and learn. The failure of Steichen and Richardson appears sealed after Jones' appointment. If you can't beat out Jones, who was introduced to the playbook a few months ago, should you be a starting NFL quarterback? Of course not. Richardson's accuracy needed work, and Steichen made it clear that consistency, not explosive plays or upside, was his top priority in the quarterback competition. 'Take care of the football, make good decisions with the football and really move your offense down the field,' Steichen said in April. 'The guy who's the most consistent doing that will win the job.' Only 58 percent of Richardson's throws last season were on target, while Jones' 81 percent led the NFL in his breakout 2022 season. (The league average is 75 percent). Steichen cited that 2022 season repeatedly when announcing the change, and explained that Jones offered more complete, consistent quarterback play, while Richardson 'needs to continue to develop in those areas.' Advertisement But if everything goes according to plan, Richardson — drafted two years ago, yet still younger than Shedeur Sanders — won't get a chance to develop this year. '[Jones is] the starting quarterback for the season,' Steichen said Tuesday. 'I don't want to have a short leash on that.' While choosing Jones is justified, The Athletic's James Boyd explained that there seems to be no clear plan for Richardson's development in Indianapolis, despite their front office preaching patience. 'I just think eventually Anthony's going to be who we think he can be,' Ballard said. 'I still believe that. Whether that's this year or next, I don't know when it's going to happen.' Exercising Richardson's fifth-year option next offseason, worth about $20 million guaranteed, would offer another example of playing not to lose. But unless Steichen and Ballard do some winning, someone else will make that decision. At least one rookie receiver dominates each season. Malik Nabers (1,204 yards), Ladd McConkey (1,149) and Brian Thomas (1,282) all finished among the top 10 in receiving yards last season. Puka Nacua did the same in 2023, as did Ja'Marr Chase in 2021 and Justin Jefferson in 2020. The only year without a rookie receiver among the top 10? 2022, when Garrett Wilson (15th) and Chris Olave (18th) came close. Buccaneers rookie Emeka Egbuka is my pick this year. This is a lofty comparison, but Egbuka reminds me of Justin Jefferson for several reasons. Hear me out: 1. Just as Jefferson's final season at LSU was overshadowed by a generational talent in Ja'Marr Chase, Egbuka's 2024 was clouded by Jeremiah Smith, a similar talent and Dane Brugler's top receiver in college football. 2. That pushed Egbuka to the slot, where he took 81.1 percent of his snaps for Chip Kelly's offense. Jefferson was similarly penciled as a slot-heavy receiver after 98.6 percent of his snaps came there. Advertisement 3. Jefferson and Egbuka averaged an identical 2.6 yards per route run, though Jefferson had higher total numbers in a pass-happy offense led by Joe Burrow, while Ohio State often leaned on their run game. The most startling similarity is their measurables, given that we associate Jefferson with twitchiness and Egbuka was labeled a steady, reliable presence without flash (think: Marvin Jones): Jefferson's deceptive and unique talent had pundits comparing him to Marvin Jones before the Vikings drafted him at No. 22. The similarly built and productive Egbuka went No. 19. Now, with Buccaneers receivers Jalen McMillan on the IR and Chris Godwin still not practicing, Egbuka has the opportunity to have a Jefferson-like season in an elite offense. It wouldn't be the first time. ⭐ Jayden Daniels' 2024 was magic. But was it the best rookie quarterback season this century?

Patriots rookie Will Campbell shuts up critics with newest PFF stat
New England Patriots offensive tackle Will Campbell has had a stellar preseason up to this point, and the latest metrics from Pro Football Focus prove it. Campbell is the only offensive tackle with an 80-plus pass blocking and run blocking grade, according to PFF. The Patriots' rookie first-round pick has an 87.6 run blocking grade and an 80.1 pass blocking grade so far this preseason. While PFF's metrics don't tell the whole story, they do indicate that Campbell is finding early success in the NFL. This statistic is great news for a Patriots team hoping their investment in Campbell to be their long-term franchise left tackle pays off. The position was a revolving door of players who struggled to protect quarterback Drake Maye and help out in the run game last year. Campbell could help bring stability to the Patriots' offensive line for years to come. A top-five draft pick ideally is capable of making an impact right away, and it appears Campbell is in line to do exactly that. Follow Patriots Wire on Twitter and Facebook.

Daniel Jones Earns Hilarious New Nickname After Winning Colts QB Battle
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Indianapolis Colts have officially named Daniel Jones their starting quarterback for the 2025 NFL season, casting former No. 4 overall pick Anthony Richardson aside. At least for the time being. The Colts' decision was relatively surprising given Richardson's draft position just two years ago, but clearly, they are beyond dissatisfied with the 22-year-old. More news: Report: Minnesota Vikings Exploring Major Trade Jones isn't going to be anyone's favorite option, but perhaps a change of scenery from his first six seasons will do him some good. He is also pretty loaded with weapons at his disposal in Indianapolis, so perhaps he can find some success with the Colts. On top of that, Jones — who has long been known as "Danny Dimes" — has earned himself a hilarious new nickname. At this point, "Indiana Jones" definitely suits the Duke product better, as he wasn't exactly dropping dimes during his last couple of years with the Giants. In fact, New York released Jones late late last season. He signed with the Minnesota Vikings to conclude the year and then joined the Colts in free agency. Quarterback Daniel Jones #17 of the Indianapolis Colts looks to pass against the Baltimore Ravens in the first half during the NFL Preseason 2025 game between Indianapolis Colts and Baltimore Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium... Quarterback Daniel Jones #17 of the Indianapolis Colts looks to pass against the Baltimore Ravens in the first half during the NFL Preseason 2025 game between Indianapolis Colts and Baltimore Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium on August 7, 2025 in Baltimore, Maryland. MoreJones actually has shown promise in the past, like in 2022 when he led the Giants to a playoff appearance and a stunning Wild Card Round win over the Vikings. That landed him a four-year, $160 million extension with Big Blue, but he certainly did not live up to his end of the bargain. More news: Former NFL Player Hints at Potential New Orleans Saints QB Trade Injuries have certainly played a role in Jones' slide, as he tore his ACL in 2023 and has actually only played one full season since entering the league as a first-round pick back in 2019. But there is also no doubt that he simply hasn't been great. In 10 starts last season, Jones threw for 2,070 yards, eight touchdowns and seven interceptions while completing 63.3 percent of his passes and posting a 79.4 passer rating. Underwhelming for sure, but also clearly better than Richardson. We'll see if Jones can revitalize his career in Indianapolis. For more on the Colts and NFL, head to Newsweek Sports.
