Taken by Indy in fifth round
The Colts selected Giddens in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 151st overall.
ANALYSIS
Formerly a zero-star recruit, Giddens worked his way up Kansas State's depth chart to start in his final two college seasons. He rushed for 1,200-plus yards in each of those two years and was named to the Second Team All-Big 12 roster in 2024. Giddens' cutback ability and lateral quickness makes him a dangerous runner in the open field, which makes up for his lack of effectiveness between the tackles. His elusiveness as a runner and pass-catching ability should allow him to compete with Khalil Herbert and Tyler Goodson for a rotational role in the Colts' backfield behind starter Jonathan Taylor.

ANALYSIS
Giddens rushed for 2,569 yards and 17 rushing touchdowns over his last two seasons at Kansas State. If he lands in Philadelphia, Giddens would compete with Will Shipley and AJ Dillon for the primary backup role behind Saquon Barkley. Kenneth Gainwell occupied that role in 2024 but departed for Pittsburgh in free agency.
