Assistant Coach of the Year: Tom Rathman

The Colts had a plan to make their rushing attack one of the best in the NFL. They achieved that goal in 2019 and much of the credit goes to Rathman’s leadership of the backfield.

From top to bottom, the Colts’ backfield might be the safest group in terms of depth. From Marlon Mack leading the way to his first 1,000-yard season to guys like Jonathan Williams and Jordan Wilkins stepping up and having success in Mack’s absence.

What’s also even more impressive is the ball security Rathman has been able to implement. Throughout the entire backfield, there was only one fumble, which came from Nyheim Hines. Rathman’s work with the backfield has helped give the Colts one of the best units in all of football.
