WESTFIELD, Ind. – Colts rookie running back D.J. Giddens spends about 20 to 30 minutes a day catching passes from a JUGS machine. An estimate, he said, is that means he catches somewhere from 50 to 100 balls a day, not counting what's been thrown at him during practice.

That extra work is paying off for the Kansas State product, as Giddens has looked like a natural catching the ball out of the backfield during training camp so far.

It's also notable because Giddens, in 2024, dropped five of his 32 targets at K-State. He was dealing with a wrist injury last year, which certainly is important context there. And while it's still early, Giddens has looked like a guy with good hands during the first two weeks of training camp.

"It looks real natural," head coach Shane Steichen said.
