INDIANAPOLIS – Full pads on the 2015 Colts won’t debut for another six weeks, but D’Joun Smith already sees differences in NFL life.
The practices over the past few weeks had a crispness to them, something Smith wasn’t quite expecting so early without full contact allowed.
Smith’s role rotating in with the first team of the defense lets onlookers know that the Colts view him as a potential contributor in 2015.
It’s what Smith, and the rest of the rookie class, has to do these next six weeks that is a stark contrast to what virtually every first-year player is used to in college.
