2026 Senior Bowl roster: NFL draft prospects for Colts to watch

NCAAF College Football News, Photos, Stats, Scores, Schedule & Videos...

The Senior Bowl has proven to be an important part of the pre-draft process for GM Chris Ballard and the Indianapolis Colts. Here is a look at which 2026 NFL draft prospects will be playing in this game.

Kickoff for the 2026 Panini Senior Bowl will be at 2:30 PM ET on Saturday, Jan. 31st.

The Senior Bowl is an invite-only, All-Star college football showcase for the top draft-eligible prospects. Before Saturday's game, there was a week's worth of practices that featured a heavy dose of one-on-ones and team drills, providing NFL teams with the opportunity to further evaluate these players, as well as meet with them.

When it comes to the Colts specifically, Ballard has made 84 draft picks since taking over as GM in 2017. Of those selections, 33 of them have participated in the Senior Bowl — or nearly 40% of those prospects.

So odds are that there will be some future Colts on the field on Saturday.

Here is a positional breakdown of which prospects are participating in this year's event. For the Colts, it sounds like it could be a more defensive-heavy offseason as Ballard reworks the roster.
