10 NFL sleepers who could make a surprise Super Bowl run

Indianapolis Colts

The Indianapolis Colts made a big splash in free agency this offseason, signing veteran quarterback Philip Rivers away from the Los Angeles Chargers. Rivers has played his whole career with the Chargers, but he is joining a familiar coach in Frank Reich, who was a quarterback coach and offensive coordinator with San Diego.

Outside of Rivers, Indy added some tremendous weapons to their offense, drafting Michael Pittman Jr. to go along with Parris Campbell and TY Hilton at wideout, and Jonathan Taylor to team with Marlon Mack at running back.

The Colts defense is already stout with stars like Malik Hooker and Darius Leonard, but they added more talent to group with the likes of DeForest Buckner, Xavier Rhodes, and TJ Carrie to name a few this offseason.

Sure, Rivers has looked like he has taken a step back in recent years, but he is going to be throwing behind an elite offensive line in 2020, something he has never been able to say. The Colts have the ingredients you need to be a special team, and in an AFC South that is going to be wide open, it is possible they make a run.
