One Indianapolis Colts player makes PFF's list of top 32 WRs ahead of 2025 season

Indianapolis Colts' wide receiver Josh Downs has made Pro Football Focus' list of the top 32 wide receivers entering the 2025 NFL season.Trevor Sikkema put together this list, and along with ranking his top 32 wide receivers, he also put each of the wideouts into tiers.

When it came to Downs, he was in tier five of six and ranked 29th overall."Downs 85.1 receiving grade in 2024 marked a promising step forward from his rookie season," Sikkema wrote.

"He recorded 403 yards after the catch and earned a 94.2 grade against zone coverage, but his 73.1 grade versus single coverage indicates theres still room for development."Despite the inconsistencies that the Colts have had at quarterback, Downs has continued to produce.

It doesn't matter who is under center, he remains a go-to target in this offense.During this most recent 2024 season, Downs totaled 803 receiving yards and was one of the most productive slot receivers in the game.

Among slot options, Downs finished the season third in targets, fourth in receptions, and fifth in receiving yards, according to PFF.As Sikkema noted, he's been very good with the ball in his hands after the catch and ranked 23rd among all wide receivers in YAC last season."He's the ultimate pro," Steichen said last season.

"He does everything right.

The treatment he gets, the way he works, what he brings to that receiver room is great.

I mean, you can see what he's done in hist first year and a half, how productive he's been.

He's going to have a big-time career because of the way he works, his work ethic, the way he runs routes, the way he attacks every day.

He's a huge asset to our football team."The top five on Sikkema's list included AJ Brown at No.
