Though he didn’t initially sign with the Indianapolis Colts coming out of college, tight end Jack Doyle has spent the majority of his career with one team.
The consummate professional and leader, Doyle was an undrafted free agent out of Western Kentucky in 2013. He signed with the Tennessee Titans but was waived before the season started. The Colts scooped him up and signed him to the active roster.
It hasn’t been an illustrious career for Doyle, but he was named one of the top undrafted free agents of the decade by Luke Easterling of our friends over at Draft Wire.
Doyle has been solid since earning a starting job with the Colts in 2015. He’s an extremely reliable run blocker and while he might not be the most explosive receiver, he is a nuanced route runner and has been a consistent short/intermediate target for whoever is under center for the Colts.
Doyle’s consistency and leadership in the locker room earned him a three-year extension during the season. He’s now tied to the Colts through the 2022 season.
The Colts are likely to still add to the tight end room this season in a minor fashion, but Doyle will be the one leading the room for yet another campaign.
