As the Indianapolis Colts look ahead to the 2025 season, Tanor Bortolini has emerged as a notable player in Pro Football Focus's ranking of NFL centers, landing at No. 30. His performance in his rookie year showcased promising abilities in both run blocking and pass protection, achieving a PFF grade exceeding 64.0. With Ryan Kelly's absence in 2024, Bortolini gained valuable experience, playing eight games, including five starts, and impressively allowing no sacks during 211 pass-blocking snaps. Despite facing competition from Danny Pinter, Bortolini's upward trajectory has caught the attention of Colts' coaches, who see the potential for him to secure the starting center position.
