Pro Football Focus released its initial list of the top 101 players from the 2025 NFL season and included were four members of the Indianapolis Colts.

The complete list hasn't been revealed yet, but PFF has announced the first 60 players on the countdown, and among them are Jonathan Taylor , Laiatu Latu , Tanor Bortolini , and Quenton Nelson .

No. 96: RB Jonathan Taylor

Seems a bit low, doesn't it?

Taylor put together yet another highly productive season in 2025. He finished the season with 1,585 rushing yards -- the third-most in football.

Along with that, Taylor was also ninth in average yards per rush and generated the third-most carries of 10-plus yards. He also led the NFL in total touchdowns, per PFF.

However, Taylor's production waned down the stretch as those running lanes that the offensive line was carving out through the first half of the season went away. Picking up yards on the ground became a chore for the Colts ' offense.

No 85: DE Laiatu Latu

Latu didn't wrack up a ton of sacks, but he did apply steady pressure on the quarterback. His 61 pressures were the 15th most among all defensive ends. He also ranked 25th in pass-rush win rate.

"After generating pressure on 10.7% of his pass-rushing snaps as a rookie, Latu improved that mark to 14.9% in Year 2," wrote PFF.

No. 65: C Tanor Bortolini

In his second NFL season, Bortolini took over as the Colts ' starting center. Over 566 pass-blocking snaps, he did not allow a single sack. Among all centers, he ranked 16th in pass-blocking efficiency and third in PFF's run-blocking grade.

Not to be lost either, when discussing the center position is all the work that comes pre-snap with setting protections and communicating adjustments based on what the defense is showing.

No. 44: LG Quenton Nelson

The 2025 season was another very good one for Nelson. Among all guards this season, Nelson ranked fourth in pass-blocking efficiency and fourth in run-blocking grade.

He was again named a Pro Bowler and earned second-team All-Pro honors.
