The Indianapolis Colts added to the running back position by selecting Kentucky's Seth McGowan in the 2026 NFL draft. McGowan rushed for 730 yards in 2024 at New Mexico and 824 yards in the SEC with Kentucky this past season. He has 64 targets in the passing game between those two seasons. With Jonathan Taylor leading the position, McGowan will have to earn playing time by showing he can hold up in pass protection and contribute on special teams. McGowan played only nine career snaps on special teams, but his skill set could help him acclimate quickly. Colts' scout Tyler Hughes said McGowan's running style, toughness, size, and intelligence are key factors in his potential. McGowan will compete with DJ Giddens for the RB2 role.
