The Indianapolis Colts knew their rookie class in 2021 was going to be a group of players focused more on development than immediate production.
Given the lack of starting spots available, it was expected that only one or two players would truly hold a significant role. It turned out to be one player in particular who would go on to make an impact in Year 1: defensive end Kwity Paye.
Because of this, the 2021 rookie class for the Colts was ranked as the fifth-worst group in the NFL, according to ESPN.
