As the Indianapolis Colts gear up for the 2025 season, one player to watch is safety Nick Cross. Standing 6'0" and weighing 212 pounds, Cross has quickly established himself as a key player for the Colts. He recorded 140 total tackles last season, ranking among the top defenders in the league. With his impressive performance in the run game, where he ranked fourth in stops among safeties, Cross has proven he can make impactful plays.

In addition to his strong defensive presence, Cross also excelled in pass coverage, allowing fewer than ten yards per catch and tying for the team lead with three interceptions. Looking ahead, Cross is expected to continue his development under defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo, who emphasizes versatility in the secondary. Cross will likely share the field with fellow safety Cam Bynum, and fans can expect to see more blitz opportunities in the upcoming season. With a growing reliance on defensive backs, Cross's ability to match up against tight ends and running backs could elevate his impact even further in 2025.
