STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Mattek expects Colts to expand Downs' role; too talented to underuse.

Mattek is hopeful that the Colts will expand Josh Downs' role and route tree. A recent OTA quote from Downs was 'not super bullish,' with Downs saying 'I hope that they expand my route tree... I hope they expand my role,' rather than confirming role expansion. However, Mattek believes Downs is 'too good for them' to not use heavily and expects him to be 'a huge part' of the Colts offense going forward.
