Undrafted free agent sensation, Jason Bean, is making a name for himself in the Indianapolis Colts organization as he vies for a spot on the team’s 53-man roster as the potential No. 3 quarterback. While he may not have the same level of fame as some of his teammates like Anthony Richardson, Jonathan Taylor, or DeForest Buckner, Bean’s impressive skills on the field are catching the attention of fans and coaches alike.
Bean, a talented quarterback hailing from Kansas, went undrafted in this year’s NFL draft but was quickly picked up by the Colts as a free agent. With a standout performance during the preseason, Bean has a real shot at securing the coveted No. 3 quarterback position on the Colts’ roster, beating out some tough competition in the process.
The young rookie started his college career at the University of North Texas before making the move to Kansas for the 2021 season. During his time with the Jayhawks, Bean showcased his talent by throwing for over 4,500 yards and 38 touchdowns, while also making significant contributions on the ground with nearly 1,000 rushing yards and nine scores. His standout performance in the Guaranteed Rate Bowl victory over UNLV further solidified his reputation as a rising star in the world of college football.
As the Colts’ starting quarterback, Anthony Richardson, looks to lead the team to victory this season, veteran quarterback Joe Flacco stands by as his experienced backup. However, the battle for the No. 3 spot is heating up as Bean competes with Sam Ehlinger and Kedon Slovis for the coveted position on the roster.
In a recent preseason matchup against the Denver Broncos, Bean had the opportunity to showcase his skills on the field. Stepping in during the fourth quarter, he impressed with a scoring drive that included a touchdown pass to Laquon Treadwell. Bean also led the team in rushing yards, displaying his versatility as a dual-threat quarterback. While there was a minor fumble, Bean’s overall performance demonstrated his potential to make a significant impact for the Colts this season.
With his sights set on securing a spot on the Colts’ roster, Jason Bean continues to work tirelessly to prove that he has what it takes to compete at the highest level of professional football. As fans eagerly await the final roster decisions, it’s clear that Bean’s journey as an undrafted free agent is just beginning, with the potential for greatness on the horizon.
