Seth McGowan’s Growth Beyond the Fumble | Indianapolis Colts News

Seth McGowan’s preseason fumble at the goal line may have been a missed touchdown, but it’s turned into a pivotal learning moment for the Colts rookie — and he’s embracing it. While officials later admitted the call should’ve been a TD, McGowan’s decision to reach for the ball drew coaching feedback, and he’s taking it as a chance to grow. Beyond the mistake, he’s been a standout in camp: tough, physical, and surprisingly sharp in pass protection and catching out of the backfield — skills analysts didn’t expect from him. Inspired by Alvin Kamara and Christian McCaffrey, McGowan’s versatility is making him a top contender for the No. 2 RB role behind Jonathan Taylor — especially with another running back sidelined. He’s proving he’s more than just a “physical runner,” and his hunger to improve? That’s exactly what the Colts want to see.
