Between now and training camp, we will be going through the Indianapolis Colts’ full 90-man roster, previewing each player.Up next is center Tanor Bortolini, who wears No. 60.Height: 6-4Weight: 303Age: 24NFL experience: Year 3College: WisconsinThe Colts drafted Bortolini in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL draft. He was the 118th overall selection.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementIn his second NFL season, Bortolini took over as the Colts’ starting center. Over 566 pass-blocking snaps, he did not allow a single sack. Among all centers, he ranked 16th in pass-blocking efficiency and third in PFF’s run-blocking grade.Not to be overlooked either, when discussing the center position, is all the work that comes pre-snap with setting protections and communicating adjustments based on what the defense is showing, which Bortolini also handled quite well.We often hear about players making a big jump from Year 1 to Year 2, which Bortolini did, but we could see him take another good-sized step forward in Year 3. He built a very strong foundation in his first year as a starter, and that experience gained can provide a jumping-off point heading into the upcoming season.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementAlthough 2025 was Bortolini’s second in the NFL, there was still a newness to it as he stepped into a larger role, but now that’s not the case, and that could prove to be advantageous for him with all those reps under his belt.This article originally appeared on Colts Wire: Colts roster preview: Tanor Bortolini looking to build on strong season
