7 Indianapolis Colts selected in 7-round mock draft of active NFL players
So, how many Indianapolis Colts players ended up being taken in Reuter's mock draft, and where did they end up going? Let's take a look.
3.68: RB Jonathan Taylor (Las Vegas Raiders)
With quarterbacks, wide receivers, and edge rushers dominating the top of the draft, Taylor--the first Colts' selection--was pushed down to Round 3. Taylor finished fourth in rushing yards last season and was 11th in yards per rush, according to PFF.
4.104: QB Anthony Richardson (Houston)
Richardson is battling Daniel Jones for the Colts' starting job this summer. However, as Reuter wrote, Richardson's potential and ability to impact the game through the air and on the ground makes him a high upside selection in this mock.
4.109: LG Quenton Nelson (Denver)
Nelson ranked 15th among all guards in pass-blocking efficiency, and he was fourth in run-blocking grade last season, per PFF. He was again a Pro Bowler and named a second-team All-Pro.
4.128: DT DeForest Buckner (New York Giants)
Among all defensive tackles in 2024, Buckner ranked seventh in PFF's pass rush win rate, 12th in pass rush productivity, and ninth in run-stop rate. Buckner's impact goes beyond the stat sheet as well, with the impact his presence has on his teammates around him.
6.170: LT Bernhard Raimann (Green Bay)
Out of 83 eligible tackles last season, Raimann ranked 24th in pass-blocking efficiency. In the run game, Raimann ranked 12th in PFF's run-blocking grade.
6.174: LB Zaire Franklin (Denver)
Franklin led the NFL in tackles last season. He also made his first Pro Bowl and was named a second-team All-Pro. I think Franklin is one player who can really benefit from playing in Lou Anarumo's defensive scheme.
7.204: TE Tyler Warren (Dallas)
Warren brings a do-it-all skill set to the NFL level. He can impact the game as a pass-catcher, particularly over the middle, while also being versatile, able to line up across the formation, and a capable blocker. That adds a lot of flexibility to an offense.

Chiefs' 'Pumped' Travis Kelce Announces Truth About NFL Future
Chiefs' 'Pumped' Travis Kelce Announces Truth About NFL Future originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, for most, is entering his 13th and final NFL season. Some thought that No. 87 would have ridden off into the sunset with Taylor Swift had the Chiefs won the Super Bowl last season. But the loss has stoked Kelce's fire, and he's back for 2025. Advertisement But is this really the future Hall of Famer's final year? Given how low his production last season was and factoring in his age, that seems logical. However, when speaking on the "Bussin' With the Boys Podcast," Kelce remained tight-lipped on his future. "It is the last one on the contract," Kelce said. "I am focused on this one. I do not know what next year is going to feel like. I do not know what I am going to feel like in March and April of next year, when I make that decision, or I try to figure out what is next for me. But I know that I got one on the contract, and I got a team and got a lot of talent. I am pumped for it." Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is entering his 13th year in the J. Rebilas-Imagn Images So, in other words, Kelce is fully focused on being the best version of himself, and what will be next offseason will be. Advertisement There is a thought that if this is Kelce's last season, letting fans know now might allow for a goodbye tour of sorts, and yes, that is good in theory, but if Kelce decides to return next season, then it would be a bit odd. However, it is clear that Kelce is only concerned about 2025 and how his body will feel after his 13th NFL season, then he'll take the necessary time to decide what is next for him and his career. Many think 2025 will be his final NFL season, but there is a little bit of hope that maybe it might not be.

T.J. Watt and Steelers Engage in Ugly Exchange Per Report
T.J. Watt and Steelers Engage in Ugly Exchange Per Report originally appeared on Athlon Sports. How badly are contract talks going between the Pittsburgh Steelers and T.J. Watt? So badly — according to one report — that the two sides have exchanged face-to-face insults regarding which side is "fortunate'' to be associated with the other. Advertisement By now, NFL fans all understand the essentials here. Watt and the Steelers are at odds over which direction their contract negotiations should go. Does Watt deserve a contract extension? Fine. At age 31, should the Steelers be happy to break the bank over a long-term contract? Less than fine. The superstar EDGE and former NFL Defensive Player of the Year is entering the final season of his deal in 2025 and has been holding out as he seeks an extension from the team. A fair number is certainly over $30 million APY. But Watt's reported demand blows that number out of the water. During an appearance on the "Rich Eisen Show" on Tuesday, insider Gerry Dulac, who covers the Steelers for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, said Watt wants nothing less than to become the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history. Advertisement "The stalemate is going to be that T.J. Watt wants to be the highest-paid non-quarterback in the league," Dulac said. That means Watt is seeking a deal worth over $40 million annually. Enter another report from a local media person, as in appearing on 93.7 The Fan in Pittsburgh, NFL insider Aditi Kinkhabwala of CBS Sports shared details on an exchange that reportedly took place ... and got ugly. 'T.J. Watt was openly told, 'You're fortunate to be a Steeler,'' Kinkhabwala alleged. 'And his response was, 'You're fortunate to have me.'' Kinkhabwala continued ... 'The Steelers' attitude, the Steelers' mindset ... is that it is such a privilege to be in this uniform, to wear this uniform,' Kinkhabwala said. 'That, therefore, you should take a hometown discount just because you get to play for one of these cornerstone trademark organizations.' Advertisement We wonder if Aditi is sort of paraphrasing here. But if this is even close to being literally accurate? It means these two sides presently have more separating them that money.

Chiefs' Travis Kelce Subtly Reveals Retirement Dream
Chiefs' Travis Kelce Subtly Reveals Retirement Dream originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce could be embarking on his final NFL season in 2025, and as we know, the future Hall of Famer has a lot of irons in the fire. Advertisement His "New Heights" podcast, which he co-hosts with his brother, Jason, is a huge hit and his relationship with Taylor Swift may lead to some partnerships after football. But Kelce might have other plans entirely. On a recent episode of "Bussin' With The Boys" podcast, Travis subtly revealed what he hopes he could do when his career ends. "I wanna see what calling a game feels like," Kelce said. "Getting in the booth. I've always impersonated guys that call the games and stuff like that growing up. I don't know, I thought it would always be fun to just jump in there. Player names is where I would get [expletive] ruined." Advertisement Kansas City Chiefs' Travis Kelce is entering his 13th year in the Chenoy-Imagn Images So Kelce could follow in the footsteps of Tony Romo and Tom Brady—and his own brother Jason, who is now at ESPN—and make his way into the broadcast booth. Given how many ex-players are currently in the media, we think Kelce might take to it rather well. Of course, it doesn't always pan out as Dallas Cowboys tight end Jason Witten tried his hand at it, and it didn't exactly go too well. So broadcasting isn't for everyone, but Kelce's knowledge of the game and his personality might be a good fit for television if he were to retire at the end of this season. There's no denying Kelce will have his fair share of offers after his football career ends — and who knows, he might just be the next player to enter the broadcast booth.
