Laquon Treadwell is a veteran wide receiver and special-teams contributor who re-signed with the Indianapolis Colts in 2026.
Treadwell was a first-round pick out of Ole Miss who has reshaped his career into a special-teams role after his early years in Minnesota. He has bounced around the league before settling in with the Colts. He provides depth at receiver and value on coverage units.
Path to the league
Treadwell starred at Ole Miss from 2013 to 2015, earning second-team All-American honors and leaving as the program's all-time leader in receptions with 202. The Vikings selected him 23rd overall in the 2016 NFL Draft. His production never matched the draft billing, and he became a journeyman.
Career highlights
After his time in Minnesota, Treadwell made stops with several teams while reinventing himself as a special-teams player. He first signed with the Colts in July 2024. He has carved out a niche as a veteran depth receiver and coverage contributor.
2025 season
Treadwell was released at final cuts in August 2025 and re-signed to the practice squad two days later, then was promoted to the active roster in November, per reporting. He played mostly on special teams, logging 141 special-teams snaps and eight stops without recording a reception. Indianapolis re-signed him in March 2026.
