INDIANAPOLIS — The Colts have shuffled the deck at the wide receiver position this offseason, using one draft pick to replace another in the slot and signing a handful of veterans to compete for the right to fill out the roster.
The top two spots remain the same.
If new Indianapolis head coach Shane Steichen is going to deploy the explosive, vertical passing game he’s talked about, the one-two punch of Michael Pittman Jr. and Alec Pierce are going to have to do the bulk of the heavy lifting.
“I like Pittman. … I think he’s a good, solid receiver, he’s been doing it for a good chunk here in Indy,” Steichen said at the owner’s meetings in late March.
