DJ Giddens, a running back selected by the Indianapolis Colts in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, has been identified as one of the biggest steals of the draft. With impressive athleticism, clocking a 4.43 in the 40-yard dash at 213 pounds, he fills a critical gap behind star Jonathan Taylor. The Colts struggled with backup performance last season, and Giddens' strong college production, including over 1,300 yards in 2024 at an average of 6.5 yards per carry, makes him a valuable addition.

Giddens not only excels as a runner but also brings significant pass-catching ability, an area where the Colts struggled last year. His ability to contribute immediately alongside new signing Khalil Herbert could help ease Taylor's workload, enhancing the Colts' offensive versatility and effectiveness this season.
