6. Trent Richardson

This is a make-or-break kind of year for Richardson, the former No. 3 overall pick who the Colts sent a first-round pick to Cleveland to acquire.

Richardson had a spectacular rookie season and has showed glimpses of being an NFL workhorse, but has struggled mightily since donning a Colts uniform.

Richardson has had a full year to get comfortable with the Colts playbook and develop chemistry with Andrew Luck and his teammates. If he can’t succeed in this quality offense this year, he may be destined for the “bust” label.
