Made a strong push for the No. 2 role in Indianapolis, but still faces stiff competition from Goodson.

There isn't much buzz around Giddens, but Indianapolis was a sneaky good landing spot for the rookie. If Jonathan Taylor’s ankle issues resurface, Giddens is better suited for a three-down role than Tyler Goodson or Khalil Herbert.

Giddens has the requisite size, speed, burst, and hands to earn an opportunity as a reserve-level contributor the Colts hope can develop into a productive committee option now and a starter later. 

If Giddens can develop a consistent approach to his craft, the talent is there. Giddens must avoid the wide range of minor errors that can accumulate and become the equivalent of significant problems. If he can't address these problems, he could lose favor with the team.

He's an awesome prospect and projects as Jonathan Taylor’s clear backup. There is an elite contingent upside if Taylor gets injured.

Seems to be the preferred backup to Taylor at the moment. A guy you should be trying to roster if you have Taylor.
