INDIANAPOLIS – Indianapolis Colts general manager Chris Ballard spoke with reporters in Wednesday’s news conference at the Indiana Farm Bureau Football Center after the first team-practice with a trimmed down 53-man roster.
For the last six years and seven months, Ballard has commanded all football operations in Indianapolis. The Colts have three winning seasons during that span – 10-6 in 2018, 11-5 in 2020, and 9-8 in 2021 – but with three separate quarterbacks in Andrew Luck, Phillip Rivers and Carson Wentz. Ballard is entering his 23rd season in the NFL, where he was tasked to reconstruct a team off its worst campaign in recent memory.
