No. 3 Andrew Luck, T.Y. Hilton and-or Phillip Dorsett

Andrew Luck is already and elite quarterback at 25 so he and any receiver 25 and younger could get on this list with him. And to go with the big arm he has, there are two absolute burners that Indianapolis Colts have at receiver. Hilton is coming off a 1,300-yard, seven touchdown season so you would think he and Luck should be No. 1.

But it’s not that simple because the Colts didn’t draft Phillip Dorsett in the first round for nothing. Hilton is going into the last year of his contract so they Colts may be phasing him out with the selection of Dorsett. They’re pretty much the same type of receiver so they might be splitting the same role with the Colts.

And even then, you might say that the combination of both of them should be No. 1 on the 25-and-under list. But I can’t even do that because Andre Johnson is in town as the No. 1 receiver for the team. They’ll make their share of big plays but it’s hard to say what type of production either one will have so I can’t put them higher than No. 3.
