ESPN top 100 NFL players: Which Indianapolis Colts make the list?
Three Indianapolis Colts are on ESPN's list of predicted top 100 NFL players for the 2026 season.
ESPN's latest list of the top 100 NFL players includes three Indianapolis Colts: running back Jonathan Taylor, cornerback Sauce Gardner, and guard Quenton Nelson. Taylor ranks 36th among all players, behind Bijan Robinson, Jahmyr Gibbs, and Christian McCaffrey in the rushing category. Gardner, ranked 43rd among corners, has seen his play improve since returning from a calf strain that sidelined him during the mid-season trade that brought him to the Colts.
Nelson, ranked 54th among offensive guards, remains a cornerstone of the Colts' offensive line since his draft in 2018, showing no signs of decline at 30. All three players are projected to have strong seasons in 2026, with Taylor expected to lead the league in yards after contact, Gardner poised to make a significant impact with a full training camp under his belt, and Nelson set to maintain his offensive line leadership.
