INDIANAPOLIS -- Erik Swoope couldn’t help but to get caught up in the moment after the road he took to reach the NFL.
The Indianapolis Colts tight end would think about it as he was down in his stance preparing to try to block Denver pass-rush specialist Von Miller or Oakland’s Khalil Mack. He would think about it while flying back on the team’s charter plane after games.
It’s understandable if Swoope got caught up in the moment. It was less than three years ago that he arrived in Indianapolis having never played a down of organized football.
