Hey there! I wasn’t able to find any credible sources confirming that Josh Downs has taken a “senior coaching” position, either with the Indianapolis Colts, the NBA, or any other organization. All available information indicates that Josh Downs—born August 12, 2001—is currently an active wide receiver for the NFL’s Indianapolis Colts, with no transition into a coaching role reported
Here’s a breakdown of what’s verifiable:
Who is Josh Downs?
- Josh Downs is an American football wide receiver, drafted by the Colts in the third round (79th overall) of the 2023 NFL Draft
- Through his first two NFL seasons (2023–2024), he tallied 140 receptions, 1,574 receiving yards, and 7 touchdowns
- He’s widely recognized for his strong work ethic, especially his early chemistry with quarterback Anthony Richardson, even practicing together in rookie minicamp parking lots
What about the NBA mention?
There’s no indication Josh Downs has any affiliation with the NBA, let alone taking up a senior coaching post within basketball. His career remains firmly rooted in the NFL as a player.
Could this be a mix-up or spoof news?
It’s possible this is a rumor or something pulled from a satirical or speculative source. If you have seen this elsewhere, feel free to share the link or context, and I can help verify whether it’s legitimate or not.
In summary:
- Fact: Josh Downs is a young, rising wide receiver for the Indianapolis Colts.
- Not confirmed: Any coaching role—let alone within the NBA or the Colts organization.
- Likely misinformation: Without credible sources, this claim appears inaccurate.
If you’d like, I can pivot and help you craft an article celebrating Josh Downs’s actual accomplishments—his rookie record, chemistry with QBs, standout efficiency metrics, or potential breakout. Just let me know!
