Jim Caldwell loves to tell a story about former Indianapolis Colts receiver Blair White. Every year around this time, when he discusses the fourth preseason game and its importance to players, he’ll bring up the former Michigan State receiver.
It has turned into a bit of a tall tale -- White didn’t have double-digit catches in his final preseason game in 2010 and didn’t actually make the roster right away, instead signing to the team’s practice squad before being promoted later in the year -- but the feeling remains. Because Caldwell has seen similar success stories, including Kerry Hyder last season.
