Stampede Blue on Seth McGowan
From the article
Seth McGowan arrived in Indianapolis as a seventh-round pick... He led Kentucky with 725 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns last season, and the early camp buzz has centered on the way he runs: decisive, physical and willing to finish through contact.
STACKED’s take
McGowan's physical style and camp performance position him as viable backup to Jonathan Taylor.
Seventh-round rookie RB competing for backup role behind Jonathan Taylor in Indianapolis. McGowan led Kentucky with 725 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns last season and has generated early camp buzz for his decisive, physical running style and willingness to finish through contact. Coach Shane Steichen noted McGowan is 'not scared of contact.' McGowan's profile features size and downhill power with enough burst to win outside, making him a versatile backup option who can handle inside runs, edge presses, and create on his own when blocking breaks down. The backup job carries meaningful fantasy value—potentially six to eight touches per game, more if Taylor misses time, and a larger role next season if the Colts and Taylor do not extend. McGowan must still prove pass protection, ball security, consistency, and special teams value to earn trust.
