Between now and training camp, we will be going through the Indianapolis Colts' full 90-man roster, previewing each player.
Up next is center Josh Kreutz, who wears No. 61.
Kreutz went undrafted in April but wasn't signed to the Colts' roster until the second week of OTAs.
Kreutz is a very experienced collegiate player, with nearly 2,500 career snaps, and was a starter for three seasons, with every snap coming at center. Over 426 pass-blocking snaps in 2025, Kreutz allowed two sacks and 14 pressures. He was penalized nine times last season as well.
Out of 159 eligible centers, he ranked 106th in PFF's pass-blocking efficiency metric and 97th in run-blocking grade.
The backup center role behind Tanor Bortolini is up for grabs, but Dalton Tucker may be the frontrunner for that job. Chances are that Kreutz's ceiling in Year 1 is as a practice-squad player, where he'll have the opportunity to continue developing.
