One current and one former member of the Indianapolis Colts were named among the top 25 college football players of the 2000s, a list that was put together by The Athletic’s Bruce Feldman.

In order to construct this list, Feldman reached out to “three dozen” coaches, TV analysts, and NFL scouts, asking who was the best collegiate player over the last 25 years.

Coming in at No. 25 on that list for the Colts was current left guard Quenton Nelson, who played his college career at Notre Dame.

Nelson was named an All-American during his final season, and over his three years as a starter, he was consistently one of PFF’s highest graded guards as both a run blocker and as a pass protector during that span.

In 2017, Notre Dame’s 6.3 yards per rush average as a team was the third-highest mark in all of college football, and as Feldman noted, the Irish accomplished that without having a “star running back.”

The Colts made Nelson the sixth overall pick in the 2018 NFL draft, and since then, he has provided stability to the Indianapolis offensive line unit, which includes making seven Pro Bowls, along with being a three-time All-Pro.

The second Colts player to make an appearance on Feldman’s list was quarterback Andrew Luck, who played at Stanford and was No. 12 on the list. Over Luck’s final two seasons, he completed an impressive 71% of his passes, throwing for 6,855 yards with 69 touchdowns to just 18 interceptions.

He was a runner-up for the Heisman Trophy twice, a winner of the Maxwell Award, and a winner of the Walter Camp award as well.

“The only time I can remember during my scouting career where they told me, ‘This guy teaches the install on the first day of camp.’ They just let him get up there and teach it,” said NFL Network analyst Daniel Jeremiah, a former NFL scout. “They give him multiple huddle calls and let him run the game at the line of scrimmage. He just had more intellectual power than anybody I’ve ever scouted.”

The Colts took Luck with the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. He was a four-time Pro Bowler and the NFL’s Comeback Player of the Year in 2018. Luck would also lead the Colts to the playoffs in four seasons, including an AFC Championship appearance in 2014.
