Colts' Defense, Special Teams Lead The Way In 19-11 Road Victory Over The Bears

Indianapolis, IN. – The Indianapolis Colts next month will host the second annual Blue's Birthday Bash at the world-renowned Children's Museum of Indianapolis, celebrating the birthday of four-time NFL Mascot of the Year "Blue." 

The Colts finished the 2025 NFL Draft with eight new players: Tight end Tyler Warren (first round), defensive end J.T. Tuimoloau (second round), cornerback Justin Walley (third round), tackle Jalen Travis (fourth round), running back D.J. Giddens (fifth round), quarterback Riley Leonard (sixth round), defensive tackle Tim Smith (sixth round) and linebacker Hunter Wohler (seventh round). Here are 10 big things you need to know about the Colts' 2025 draft class. 

Warren spent all five years of his college career at Penn State, staying patient and working hard to earn his opportunity.

Steichen on Saturday explained what he believes first-round tight end Tyler Warren can do in the Colts' offense in 2025. 

Wohler, who played at Wisconsin for four years, has experience playing safety and linebacker.

Leonard, who played for Notre Dame in 2024, already has ties to the Colts and considers Indiana home.

Wohler totaled 191 tackles over his final two seasons at Wisconsin. 

Smith played five years at Alabama - four under Nick Saban - and says his time with the Crimson Tide has prepared him for "life, football, anything."

Smith appeared in 64 games over five seasons at Alabama, recording 14.5 tackles for a loss and 6.5 sacks. 

Leonard quarterbacked Notre Dame to the College Football Playoff final during his lone season in South Bend. 

After years of hard work and lots of faith, Giddens went from being a no-star recruit out of high school to a fifth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.

Giddens rushed for over 1,200 yards in each of the last two seasons and finished his college career with 27 total touchdowns.
