The Indianapolis Colts made the surprise move recently to release veteran kicker Matt Gay.
As GM Chris Ballard described on Monday during his pre-draft press conference, that decision was less about Gay and more so about their faith in Spencer Shrader.
"Matt is a good kicker, he's still a good kicker," Ballard said via the team site. "Matt is still going to be a good kicker in this league. I think a lot of it had to do with Spencer. Having Spencer last year gave us a real insight to his talent level.
