Putting a Bow On It

The Indianapolis Colts far exceed anyone's expectations this season, and I could not be more excited for the future. This time last year, nobody knew what the Colts' defense was going to look like, nobody knew if Andrew Luck would ever play again, and the Colts looked a long way off from a playoff berth. Well, what a difference 365 days makes, because now, Indianapolis is the home to one of the most exciting young teams in the NFL with three award winners named by the Pro Football Writer's Association; NFL Executive of the Year, Chris Ballard; The NFL Comeback Player of the Year, Andrew Luck; and the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year, Darius Leonard; two rookie AP first team all-pros, Quenton Nelson and Darius Leonard; and currently three pro bowlers, Andrew Luck, Eric Ebron, and Quenton Nelson. The Colts finished the year 10-6 with a second round playoff exit, 9 draft picks, and the most cap space in the league. They will be better.
