Ahmad Bradshaw, who was released by the New York Giants in February, is currently in serious talks with the Indianapolis Colts, according to Marc Sessler of NFL.com. 

After a decorated collegiate career at Marshall University, Bradshaw was taken in the seventh round, 250^th overall, in the 2007 NFL draft. He worked hard and was able to gain a regular starting role by his fourth season while splitting carries with Brandon Jacobs.

Bradshaw was successful, in many aspects, during his tenure with the Giants. However, his career was marred by foot and leg injuries. He missed 12 games in his six year stint with the team, and his ability, when he returned from those injuries, was noticeably affected.

Through the 2012 season, Bradshaw struggled to stay on the field. Rookie, David Wilson, and fourth year ‘back, Andre Brown, capitalized on their opportunities. The emergence of Wilson and Brown effectively made Bradshaw, and his multi-million dollar contract, expendable.

After his release, Bradshaw was reported to have met with multiple teams; but Indianapolis makes the most sense. With the team the Colts have in place, Bradshaw would have a chance to live up to the high expectations he established while with the Giants. He would have to contend with the likes of Vick Ballard, Donald Brown, and Delone Carter; however it’s likely that he will earn, at the very least, a number 2 role, if he’s signed.
