The Indianapolis Colts' 2026 local pro day roster has some intriguing names.
The Indianapolis Colts will conduct their annual pre-draft local pro day on Tuesday, which features 2026 NFL Draft hopefuls who are either from or played in Indiana or the surrounding areas.
It's another chance for players to work out in front of NFL talent evaluators and coaches ahead of the draft on Thurs., April 23.
Due largely to the fact that the Indiana Hoosiers are the reigning national champions, this year's roster has real firepower.

The headliners of the roster are Oregon safety Dillon Thieneman (Westfield High School), Indiana wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr. (Lawrence North High School), and Indiana cornerback D'Angelo Ponds, all of whom are expected to be top-50 picks in the draft.
There are several other players projected to hear their names called in the draft.
This event has been worthwhile for the Colts and the players, as multiple players who worked out at this event ultimately became Colts early in their careers. Cornerback JuJu Brents was the Colts' second-round pick in 2023. Running back Toriano Clinton, defensive end Seth Coleman, offensive guard Emil Ekiyor, wide receiver Cody Kase, wide receiver Eli Pancol, safety Michael Tutsie, linebacker Sterling Weatherford, and defensive tackle Jamal Woods have all signed with the Colts during their careers.
Other noteworthy alumni of the event who have gone on to find some success elsewhere in the NFL are safety Tony Adams (New York Jets, Tennessee Titans), wide receiver David Bell (Cleveland Browns), defensive end Austin Booker (Chicago Bears), wide receiver Pat Bryant (Denver Broncos), tight end Payne Durham (Tampa Bay Buccaneers), running back Isaac Guerendo (San Francisco 49ers), offensive tackle Dawand Jones (Cleveland Browns), safety Kerby Joseph (Lions), offensive lineman Marcus Mbow (New York Giants), linebacker Micah McFadden (New York Giants), quarterback Aidan O'Connell (Las Vegas Raiders), tight end Tip Reiman (Arizona Cardinals), quarterback Kurtis Rourke (San Francisco 49ers), running back Carson Steele (Kansas City Chiefs, Philadelphia Eagles), and running back Tyrone Tracy (New York Giants).
