Van Pran-Granger arrives with the right kind of résumé for a backup center: big-game college experience, two NFL seasons and real depth value. He is not being asked to replace a starter immediately, which gives him time to learn the Colts' calls and compete for a role.
Strengths: Stout build, 44 college starts, championship experience and 31 pro games. He has already shown durability and can bring a mature, physical profile to the interior reserve group.
Weaknesses: His NFL starts are limited, and a late-August trade means he must quickly absorb a new protection system. He needs to prove he can consistently handle complex interior pressure rather than merely spot duty.
