Which current Indianapolis Colts players could make the Pro Football Hall of Fame? Making the Hall of Fame is certainly one of the greatest honors a player can receive.
Over the years, several Colts legends have made it to Canton. The star-studded list includes guys like Peyton Manning, Johnny Unitas, Marvin Harrison, and Edgerrin James. It will be interesting to see if any 2025 Colts players will eventually make the Hall of Fame.
Three 2025 Colts Players Who Might Eventually Make the Hall of Fame
Tyler Warren
Indianapolis selected Tyler Warren 14th overall in the 2025 NFL Draft. Seeing that he hasn’t even played an NFL game yet, isn’t it too early to label him a future Hall of Famer? Sure, but he has the talent and potential to become one.
Warren is coming off a stellar season at Penn State. He caught 103 passes for 1,233 yards and eight touchdowns. He also rushed for 203 yards and four scores. Warren won the John Mackey Award, which honors college football’s most outstanding tight end.
Warren helped lead Penn State to the College Football Playoff semifinal. During the quarterfinal against Boise State, he hauled in six catches for 63 yards and two touchdowns.
Heading into this offseason, a playmaking tight end was perhaps the Colts’ biggest need. Warren is exactly the guy the team was searching for. It wouldn’t be surprising if he develops into a superstar. We’ll see, though, if he ever makes the Hall of Fame. That’s a long way away.
Jonathan Taylor
Anthony Richardson was supposed to become the face of the Colts franchise. But that hasn’t materialized yet. Jonathan Taylor remains the team’s biggest star. The former Wisconsin Badger was drafted by the Colts in 2020. Indianapolis traded up to draft him, and it was one of general manager Chris Ballard’s greatest moves.
Taylor immediately made an impact, rushing for 1,169 yards and 11 touchdowns during his rookie year. In 2021, he put together an MVP-caliber season. That year, he led the NFL in rushing yards (1,811) and rushing touchdowns (18.) He wound up being runner-up for Offensive Player of the Year. Last season, he rushed for 1,431 yards and 11 touchdowns, making the second Pro Bowl of his career.
Taylor has emerged as one of the greatest running backs in Colts history. He has joined the likes of Eric Dickerson, Marshall Faulk, and Edgerrin James. Unfortunately, Taylor has struggled with injuries over the past few years. If he can stay healthy, he has a realistic chance of making the Hall of Fame one day.
Quenton Nelson
Quenton Nelson just had to make an appearance in this article. You can’t make a “Future Colts Hall of Famer” list without including him.
Speaking of great Chris Ballard moves, you can’t forget about drafting Nelson. The six-foot-five, 330-pounder was selected sixth overall in the 2018 draft.
Nelson has developed into one of the league’s top offensive linemen. He is the first player since Barry Sanders to earn three First-Team All-Pro selections in each of his first three seasons. He’s also just the third offensive lineman in NFL history with seven straight Pro Bowl selections. Yes, that’s pretty impressive. And yes, he should likely make the Hall of Fame eventually.
