Colts QB Daniel Jones Expected to Win NFL Comeback Award 2025

Daniel Jones is emerging as the leading candidate for the Indianapolis Colts' starting quarterback position in 2025 following Anthony Richardson's injury struggles and inconsistent play. NFL analyst Jeffri Chadiha predicts that Jones will not only secure the starting job but also revive his career enough to win the NFL's Comeback Player of the Year award. Jones benefits from working with Colts head coach Shane Steichen, known for creatively maximizing quarterback strengths, as he did with Jalen Hurts, and from a Colts roster with strong skill players and offensive line support. Jones has impressed Colts coaches with his decision-making and chemistry during offseason workouts, contrasting his uneven tenure with the New York Giants and a brief stint with the Vikings. Despite Jones' more conservative passing style compared to Richardson's aggressive air yards, his steadier play and the Colts' offensive weapons give him a promising platform for a comeback season. This bold prediction highlights the opportunity for Jones to redefine his NFL journey with the Colts in 2025.
