The Indianapolis Colts are currently evaluating their running back position ahead of the 2025 NFL draft. With the departure of Trey Sermon, the team is looking to bolster their depth behind star running back Jonathan Taylor. In an effort to enhance production, the Colts signed Khalil Herbert to a one-year deal. Herbert, known for his versatility and solid rushing stats, aims to contribute effectively in both running and passing situations.
General Manager Chris Ballard emphasized the need for improved performance from the backup running back position. While Herbert's addition brings promise, the Colts may still target running backs in the upcoming draft to ensure depth and competition. With a talented pool of running back prospects available, the Colts have an opportunity to further strengthen their backfield and enhance offensive capabilities, including the passing game out of the backfield, which was lacking in the previous season.
