What time do Indianapolis Colts pick today in 2025 NFL draft?
We know that the Indianapolis Colts hold the 14th overall pick on Day 1 of the 2025 NFL draft, but at what time will they be making that selection?
Well, while not an exact science, we can look back at the 2024 NFL draft and when the 14th pick was announced that year.
On X, the official NFL account posted that the New Orleans Saints selected Oregon State offensive tackle Taliese Fuaga at 9:47 PM ET.
So, roughly around that time, we can anticipate the Colts being on the clock and making their pick.
From there, the question quickly turns to, who will they select?
Understandably so, the top two tight ends, Tyler Warren and Colston Loveland, are popular picks in mock drafts. But, of note, one of the best in the business, Daniel Jeremiah, had both Warren and Loveland off the board before the Colts were picking.
I also wrote recently that while tight end is a favorite pick, the Colts cannot forget about the offensive line either. I'll also add that the defensive line is a third possible position the Colts could look to tackle in the first round.

Indianapolis Colts LB Zaire Franklin unavailable for start of training camp
Colts' LB Zaire Franklin told reporters on Tuesday that he will be unavailable for the start of training camp. Indianapolis Colts' linebacker Zaire Franklin will not be ready for the start of training camp as he recovers from offseason ankle surgery. When speaking with reporters on Tuesday, Franklin said that he wasn't going to put a timetable on getting healthy, but said that he has been running and is pleased with his progress, according to The Athletic's James Boyd. "This is a marathon," Franklin told the Indy Star's Nate Atkins. Franklin would have the ankle procedure back in early May. Franklin is coming off his most productive season in 2024, which included leading the NFL in tackles, making his first Pro Bowl, along with being named a second-team All-Pro. He also set a career high with 15 quarterback pressures, four sacks, and two interceptions. This offseason, the Colts have been implementing a new defensive scheme under Lou Anarumo, one that is more aggressive and disguise-heavy. In addition to Franklin being out for OTAs and minicamp, so was Jaylon Carlies, who had offseason shoulder surgery. At this time, we do not know if he will be available for the start of training camp. The Colts' linebacker room overall is inexperienced, and that depth will be tested early on in training camp while Franklin is sidelined. "They've been doing as much as they can within the rules in terms of their injuries and stuff. But extra meetings with coach Bettcher and just staying ahead of it," Lou Anarumo said of Franklin and Carlies. "Ultimately, they play linebacker, they gotta get down in there and get used to playing football at some point. Hopefully that's sooner than later. But mentally they're trying to stay with it as best they can."

7 Rams players with the most to prove in training camp, including Stetson Bennett
Training camp is the ultimate proving ground for players each summer, giving them the opportunity to not only make the regular-season roster, but rise up the depth and earn meaningful playing time. The Los Angeles Rams kick things off with their first practice at Loyola Marymount University this week and these seven players have a lot to prove. Stetson Bennett is atop the list, aiming to make the Rams' 53-man roster for the third straight year despite a tough start in his first two seasons since being draft. QB Stetson Bennett Bennett managed to make the 53-man roster last season despite struggling badly in the preseason, but he may not be afforded such a long leash this time around. With the Rams' roster getting even deeper across the board, they may not have the luxury of keeping three quarterbacks again. Since being drafted in the fourth round, Bennett has struggled with turnovers in the preseason and looked a bit overmatched. His athleticism is encouraging but in terms of becoming an NFL-level passer, he has a long way to go still. RB Blake Corum Corum joined the Rams as a third-round pick last year and despite a perception that he might push Kyren Williams for playing time, that never happened. He carried the ball just 58 times for 207 yards, an average of 3.4 rushes for 12.2 yards per game. Those aren't the numbers anyone expected to see from the former Wolverine, getting very little chance to prove himself as a rookie. This season, Corum faces more pressure with the arrival of rookie Jarquez Hunter, a fourth-round pick out of Auburn. He's a faster, more explosive running back than Williams and Corum, which could conceivably push him ahead of Corum as the RB2. Corum must prove he can be the next man up if he wants to hold onto his position on the depth chart. TE Davis Allen It's approaching "now or never" time for Allen, a third-year tight end who was drafted in the fifth round out of Clemson. He's currently penciled in as the No. 4 tight end behind Tyler Higbee, Terrance Ferguson and Colby Parkinson, so he's not even a lock to make the 53-man roster again. With his size and athletic profile, he has a chance to be productive in the NFL, as we saw during his rookie year when he caught 10 passes for 95 yards and a touchdown, but his opportunities were few and far between last year despite Higbee missing most of the season. OL KT Leveston Leveston spent his rookie year on injured reserve, the only draft pick by the Rams in 2024 to play zero games last season. It was an unfortunate way to start his NFL career, essentially making this his rookie year. As a former seventh-round pick, his job isn't yet secured so he's got work to do. Leveston played tackle in college and could remain there with the Rams, but with D.J. Humphries, David Quessenberry and Warren McClendon Jr. all competing to be backup tackles, there may not be much room for Leveston. He may have to cut his teeth at guard instead. DT Desjuan Johnson The defensive line is pretty open after the top four of Braden Fiske, Kobie Turner, Poona Ford and Ty Hamilton. Tyler Davis should probably make the team, too, but Johnson, Larrell Murchison and others will be competing for a roster spot further down the depth chart. Johnson was Mr. Irrelevant in 2024 and has only played 14% and 18% of the defensive snaps the last two seasons, so he hasn't been on the field much. The time is now for him to prove he belongs on the roster. OLB Brennan Jackson Jackson missed time last summer with an injury, which was an unfortunate setback during his rookie year. He sat out the first five games and wound up playing just seven total games (47 snaps) all season. Like Leveston, the Rams didn't get much of a look at their fifth-round rookie, which gives Jackson an opportunity to showcase his skill set for truly the first time in camp this year. The Rams need a new No. 3 outside linebacker following the departure of Michael Hoecht in free agency and Jackson is a real candidate to fill that void. CB Emmanuel Forbes Jr. This might be the biggest camp of Forbes' career so far. The former first-round pick fell out of favor in Washington and was cut last season, which led to him landing with the Rams. He arrived in Los Angeles late in the season so he was put in a tough spot, but with a full offseason in 2025, Forbes is set up for success. There's a real chance he makes the 53-man roster and plays meaningful snaps, potentially as the No. 3 or 4 cornerback on the depth chart. The Rams didn't make many moves at cornerback in the offseason, in part because they're confident in Forbes' ability. Follow Rams Wire on X, Facebook and Threads for more coverage!

When did Philip Rivers retire? What to know about end of QB's career
Veteran NFL quarterback Philip Rivers officially retired on Monday in a move that left many football fans with a strange case of deja vu. After all, hadn't Rivers already retired from the NFL? The short answer is yes; Rivers had announced he was calling it quits following the 2020 NFL season. "It's just time," he told the San Diego Tribune at the time. "It's just right." Despite this, Rivers kept his options open. It was unclear whether he had filed his official retirement paperwork, and his name occasionally appeared as a potential emergency signing. Notably, San Francisco 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan revealed his team would have signed Rivers had it beaten the Philadelphia Eagles in the 2023 NFC championship game following Brock Purdy's elbow injury. Rivers never signed with another NFL team, but he did ink a one-day contract with the Los Angeles Chargers to cap off his career. Here's what to know about Rivers' retirement, as well as the stats from his 17-year NFL career. When did Philip Rivers retire? Rivers announced his retirement from the NFL on Monday, July 21, in a video posted to the Chargers' social media account. philip rivers forever. Rivers signed a one-day contract to retire as a member of the Chargers. He spent 16 of his 17 NFL seasons with the Chargers after being acquired in a 2004 draft day trade involving No. 1 overall pick Eli Manning. "It's really, in the past handful of years, been my desire [to retire] as a Charger. It was more so the timing," Rivers told "Gratitude is the first thing that comes to mind. Just thankful. Thankful for my time there as a Charger. "Sixteen years … a lot of my adult life was there in that organization and around all those people and teammates. I'm overwhelmingly thankful more than anything," Rivers added. Rivers retires as the Chargers' all-time leader in wins (123), passing yards (59,271) and passing touchdowns (397). He started 224 consecutive games for the franchise before finishing his NFL career with the Indianapolis Colts in 2020. "Thankful for those 16 years, entrusting me to be the quarterback and certainly never took it for granted," Rivers said of his time with the Chargers in his retirement video. NFL 2025: Five teams that could be more explosive this season Philip Rivers' last game While Rivers only signed his final, ceremonial NFL contract on Monday, his last NFL game came during the 2020 NFL playoffs, his lone season with the Colts. Indianapolis lost 27-24 to the Buffalo Bills in a wild-card matchup on Jan. 9, 2021. Rivers played well in the contest, completing 27 of 46 passes (58.7%) for 309 yards and two touchdowns. He and the Colts had a chance to mount a game-tying or game-winning drive at the end of regulation, but they could not get past Buffalo's 45-yard line before time ran out. Below are the highlights from the Colts' tightly contested loss in Rivers' final NFL game: Philip Rivers' career stats Rivers retires as the NFL's sixth-leading passer in terms of yards and touchdowns. He also ranks 18th overall in career passer rating, while his 134 regular-season wins are the ninth-most by a quarterback in NFL history. Below are the notable stats from Rivers' NFL career. Rivers was also voted to the Pro Bowl eight times during his career and was named the Comeback Player of the Year in 2013. When is Philip Rivers Hall of Fame eligible? The Pro Football Hall of Fame stipulates a player must be retired for at least five consecutive seasons before being eligible for enshrinement. While Rivers didn't officially retire until Monday, he hasn't played in the NFL since 2020. That will make him eligible to be selected into the Hall of Fame beginning in 2026. That said, Rivers is no shoo-in to make it into the Hall of Fame – especially on the first ballot. His regular-season passing numbers are among the league's most prolific, but the 17-year veteran didn't have consistent postseason success. He posted a record of just 5-7 across 12 games and never reached a Super Bowl. As such, Rivers' candidacy will serve as a good litmus test for other quarterbacks from his era who posted impressive numbers but didn't accumulate many major accolades.
