ORLANDO – Jacoby Brissett’s arrival in Indianapolis last September gave the Colts a viable alternative to struggling starting quarterback Scott Tolzien during Andrew Luck’s absence.

The Colts had a 4-11 record with Brissett as their starter, but his skill set was evident in spite of all the problems around him and his own deficiencies as a quarterback.

And that is why Brissett has grabbed the attention of many around the NFL, where starting quarterbacks have been difficult to come by.
