With the 151st overall pick in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, the Indianapolis Colts selected Kansas State running back DJ Giddens.

Giddens (6'0", 212) is an athletic, accomplished college runner, churning up 3,087 rushing yards, 679 receiving yards, and 27 total touchdowns in three years. He's a well balanced player who can run between the tackles and outside. He has good vision and patience, and he displays good hands in the passing game. Pass protection is a work in progress, however.

Giddens joins a running back room featuring Jonathan Taylor, Khalil Herbert, Tyler Goodson, and Salvon Ahmed. He appears to be quality direct competition for Herbert, who the team signed this offseason as a free agent.
