'I had to answer': Colts' pick gets call during national anthem

INDIANAPOLIS -- Attend his fiancée’s softball game at Texas A&M or sit around at home waiting for his phone to ring to see where he would be playing in the NFL?

That’s the (good) dilemma the Indianapolis Colts' second-round pick, offensive lineman Braden Smith, faced Friday, the second day of the NFL draft.

Smith, being a smart man, traveled to College Station, Texas, to watch fiancée Courtney Shea, the starting catcher at Auburn, take on the Aggies.

“I mean, my fiancée wanted to be here with me when it happened,” Smith said.
