Twenty of Giddens' 26 carries as a rookie in 2025 came in the first and last games of the season, contests in which the outcome was either not in doubt (a Week 1 rout of the Dolphins) or didn't matter to the Colts (a Week 18 loss to the Texans after they were already eliminated from the playoffs). In between, Giddens barely saw the field and fell off the gameday roster entirely for half the year. The fifth-round Kansas State product made some noise at the combine, posting a 40-yard time of 4.43 at 212 pounds while landing in the 95th percentile in the vertical jump and 98th percentile in the broad jump, but on tape he lacked passing-down skills and didn't show the vision or patience necessary to take advantage of his blocking, instead just relying on instinctive elusiveness to avoid defenders. Giddens could eventually develop into a useful special-teams option and a big-play threat if he gets the ball in open space, and Indy didn't bring in much competition for him for the No. 2 job behind Jonathan Taylor, but he has a long way to go to demonstrate he can be a consistent contributor in an NFL offense.
