INDIANAPOLIS – Ted Monachino knows the golden rule of spring football in the NFL.
Any concrete assessments on players/position groups cannot be made until the full pads come on in August.
But Monachino isn’t blind.
He saw the bodies working in shorts and helmets this spring.
And the team’s second-year defensive coordinator has an observation.
“I will tell you we’re different,” Monachino says. “We’re bigger. We’re younger. We’re stronger. We’ve got some guys that are more the rule than the exception around our league, where a year ago maybe we had a few more exceptions.
