What a difference a season makes!
RANK 5. COLTS (11-7)
Looking back on the 2018 season, no team -- no organization -- reinvented itself more than Indianapolis. General manager Chris Ballard deserved to win Executive of the Year. ( Which he did.) Frank Reich deserved to win Coach of the Year. ( Which he didn't.) Throw in a rookie draft class that contributed right away, and this team has the makings of an AFC superpower. Because the Colts were full of kids and no-name contributors in 2018, they're in great shape, cap-wise. In that way, they're a rarity among teams with quarterbacks who have Andrew Luck's ability and are no longer playing on a rookie deal. Going back to the 2018 NFL Draft: Indy received contributions from Quenton Nelson, Tyquan Lewis, Kemoko Turay, Braden Smith, Darius Leonard, Nyheim Hines, Jordan Wilkins, Zaire Franklin and Matthew Adams. Only two guys failed to make an impact: fifth-rounder Daurice Fountain and sixth-rounder Deon Cain, the latter of whom suffered a torn ACL in August -- and I've heard plenty of good things about him, too. This team is juiced, dude.
NE, NO, LAR, KC ranked 1 - 4 (hard to argue)
SD, PHI, DAL, CHI, SEA ranked 6 - 10 (again, hard to argue)
5th? What a difference a year makes.
The future is so bright, I gotta triple up! :cool::cool::cool:
Walk Worthy,
