The Indianapolis Colts have big plans for fourth-round pick Tanor Bortolini.
. Bortolini, 21, is expected to backup the Colts’ interior offensive line this upcoming season, and he will have a chance to carve out a starting role heading into 2025.
The common theme with these plays is how Bortolini goes about his assignment. He is consistent in how he helps on the 1-tech and then works his way out to the 3-tech to assist on the double team. This keeps a clean pocket in front of the quarterback, leading to space for the passer to slide up and around the pocket. He also constantly looks for work when left clean, leading to some nasty finishes .
Illinois in particular threw blitz after blitz at Wisconsin in that match-up last season. While Illinois did create some pressure overall, there were rarely any free rushers breaking through the line in that outing. The line calls and adjustments were on point all game long, and Bortolini limited the damage as much as he possibly could in that game.
Bortolini certainly struggles more as a run blocker than as a pass blocker at the moment, but there is some real potential in his game as a zone blocker. His athletic ability shows when he is climbing to the second level, and is a plus player when he is put on the move in the ground game.
