Indianapolis Colts 2018 rookie sensations Darius Leonard and Quenton Nelson both had Pro Bowl campaigns out of the gates, narrowing the field of potential breakouts for the 2019 season. But Indy has drafted well, and several young Colts appear to be on the verge of big things. 

Three such players are offensive tackle Braden Smith, center Ryan Kelly and safety Malik Hooker, all of whom have shown promise early on but have yet to emerge as studs. 

Instead, though, we're rolling with running back Marlon Mack, who lacked consistency at times but was the only back in the AFC to rush for 115-plus yards on five or more occasions (playoffs included) as a sophomore in 2018. 

Critically, three of those performances came in Indy's final five games, including a dominant playoff effort in which he carried the Colts offense while amassing 148 yards in playoff victory over the division-rival Texans. 

Mack finished his first playoff experience with a 5.9 yards-per-attempt average, and now the 2017 fourth-round pick looks prepared to become a 1,000-yard rusher in his age-23 season.
