INDIANAPOLIS -- Indianapolis Colts long snapper Matt Overton believes sports and law enforcement have parallels between them. The pregame meeting with the coach is like the police sergeant's daily briefing that lays out the plan for the day. Overton and his teammates need to be tied together in order for the Colts to be successful in the same way police officers need to be on the same page to protect and serve.
It is for those reasons -- and many more -- that Overton wants to make the transition to being a reserve on the police force once his NFL career comes to a close.
