On the Monday after the draft, Colts General Manager Chris Ballard looked tanned and relaxed in jeans, a sweatshirt and flip-flops.
But most of all, he looked relieved.
In unprecedented access, he opened the door of the Colts war room to a select group of local reporters.
Unlike last week, the walls were empty – void of information expect for a calendar of offseason training dates.
“We sit in here for hours. I mean, in February we go for 17 days straight, we go from 8 (AM) to 8 (PM) and we watch tape on every player,” he said.
