INDIANAPOLIS — Marvin Bracy spent the past four years chasing Usain Bolt.

Now he's trying to run down a spot on the Indianapolis Colts' 53-man roster.

On Tuesday, the 2016 Olympian was at the center of a media huddle at the Indiana Farm Bureau Football Complex after completing his first NFL training camp practice.

Some athletes might blanch at the thought of leaving a comfortable career as a professional sprinter for an uncertain future as a prospective wide receiver. Bracy never thought twice about the move.

"Obviously, passion for the sport," he said in response to a query about his sudden change of direction.
