Right Guard: Hugh Thornton,

Jonotthan Harrison

Perhaps no position is more up for grabs than the Colts starting right guard spot. Holdover Hugh Thornton is hoping to keep his starting job, having started 12 games for the team this past season at the position.

Thornton has trimmed down and has shown flashes of his potential in the past, but the 2013 3rd round pick too often has been marred by both injuries and inconsistency. This is likely a make-or-break season for the 25 year old guard with the Colts all things considered.

His primary competition figures to be converted guard Jonotthan Harrison, who started 9 games for the Colts last season–only at center instead. Harrison has proven to be a road grader in the ground game at times, but too often has been plagued with mental lapses and blown assignments. His physicality and strength theoretically make him at least an intriguing option at guard however.

Nevertheless, it’s also possible that the loser of the starting right tackle competition could ultimately become the Colts starter at right guard, which we’ll get to next.
