With Quenton Nelson's help, Colts' Danny Pinter ready to seize opportunity to start

INDIANAPOLIS — Danny Pinter spent his offseason sending clips of his offseason training in Chicago down to Quenton Nelson in Indianapolis.

They’d talk every week. Nelson would take a look, then give Pinter his notes. More of this. A little less of that.

Preparing Pinter to take over the starting job at right guard.

“Obviously, there’s an opportunity there,” Pinter said.

The Ball State product, a fifth-round pick by the Colts in 2020, spent his first two seasons in the NFL backing up Pro Bowler Ryan Kelly at center. Pinter started one game at center as a rookie, then three in relief of Kelly last season, handling himself well in big games.
