Back to EpisodesColts' Young Stars: Walley, Downs, Bortolini, Latu
Description
The Indianapolis Colts are set for a strong 2026 season with key players like Quenton Nelson, Jonathan Taylor, and DeForest Buckner. Four young players, including cornerback Justin Walley, wide receiver Josh Downs, center Tanor Bortolini, and defensive end Laiatu Latu, are poised to make significant contributions. Walley, drafted 80th overall, is expected to excel in the slot after a promising preseason. Downs, with an impressive 68 catches as a rookie, could fill the void left by Michael Pittman Jr. Bortolini, a fourth-round pick, has shown promise as a center, while Latu, despite edge injuries, has shown potential with 8.5 sacks and 3 interceptions. The Colts are banking on these young players to complement their veterans and secure a playoff spot in 2026.
