NFL Teams Urged to Address Key Needs

The Indianapolis Colts face significant offseason challenges following an 8-9 season, with both owner Jim Irsay and general manager Chris Ballard acknowledging the need for improvement. Pro Football Focus has identified cornerback as the primary position of need for the Colts in the upcoming 2025 NFL Draft, recommending Notre Dame's Benjamin Morrison as a top prospect. Morrison showcased impressive performance metrics, including a low completion rate allowed and multiple interceptions during his college career, despite an injury that cut short his 2024 season. Additionally, PFF highlighted the Colts' struggles in pass defense, where they ranked poorly in yards allowed per attempt and completion percentage. With a new defensive coordinator on the horizon, the Colts aim to address these weaknesses and enhance the overall competitiveness of their roster. Ballard has emphasized the need for better competition throughout the team to foster improvement.
