*Josh and Caleb Downs Express Desire to Unite on the Same NFL Team*
Brothers Discuss Potential Collaboration on Podcast
Josh and Caleb Downs have expressed their eagerness to play for the same NFL team, despite the current odds appearing slim. On their recent “Downs 2 Business” podcast episode, the brothers answered a listener’s question about the possibility. Both are keen on the idea, sharing their thoughts on the potential collaboration.
“I would love to play with Josh. I’ve never played with Josh in anything, so that would be a new situation for me,” said Caleb, who is in his third year as a safety for Ohio State. Josh, a wide receiver currently with the Indianapolis Colts, highlighted the unique dynamic of having a family member as a teammate, stating it would offer him a deeper connection and support system.
Aspiring to Reunite in the NFL
Josh, selected in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft, already boasts 154 career receptions for the Colts, who are showing early signs of being AFC playoff contenders. Caleb, rated as one of the nation’s top safeties, is anticipated to be an early first-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. To unite on the same team, notably the Colts, would require significant roster adjustments.
Future Prospects and Potential Challenges
For the Downs brothers to realize their dream of playing together, the Indianapolis Colts would need to maneuver their roster strategically. This may involve:
- Draft considerations and trades
- Position adjustments
- Salaries cap planning
As the season unfolds, speculation about their joint NFL future continues to spark interest among fans and analysts alike.
