The Colts were always a pass-first team, and have been for the past twenty years. Nonetheless, this was one of the finest seasons posted by Colts running backs in recent memory. The running back group started on shaky footing, with Mack injured and only two rookies after him.
After 5 weeks, a healthy Mack brought stability to the group, providing a true three-down back. Hines served the role of the change of pace, pass catching back and Wilkins was solid in limited action. Every member of the group is worth writing about.
After a rough rookie season, expectations were not high for Mack but his presence was key for the Colts offense.
