INDIANAPOLIS — The relationship Matt Ryan has built with Peyton Manning over the years is strong, and for those who have been around the Colts long enough to see both men in action, the parallels have been impossible to ignore.
The way Ryan carries himself on the field and the way he prepares in the meeting room feel awfully familiar.
Especially for the man in the building who spent most of his career on the receiving end of Manning’s pinpoint throws. Ryan has only been in the building for a couple of weeks now, but when the Colts new quarterback talks, the team’s new wide receivers coach hears echoes of Manning’s famous drawl.
