The Indianapolis Colts have spent the last four seasons overhauling an aging roster and changing schemes on both sides of the football. There have been some notable additions to the team in the draft, trades, and on the waiver wire. These moves have led the Colts down a path that has made it increasingly more difficult for rookies to make an early impact.
Perhaps no season has been a bigger indication of the home-grown talent over the last four years than 2021. There are only five true rookies on the regular-season roster at this time. Only three of them are likely to play any noticeable role this year.
