INDIANAPOLIS --- If the football wing of 7001 West 56th Street was the White House, he would be Chief of Staff. You can’t help but picture the NFL version of President Jed Bartlet and Leo McGarry from The West Wing, after learning of the dynamic between them. Colts Vice President of Football Operations Jimmy Raye III is a most trusted confidant of General Manager Ryan Grigson.
They both describe the relationship as being attached at the hip, making it all the more appropriate that their offices are adjoining. That comes in handy this time of year, in the midst of free agency and with the NFL Draft approaching.
