Hi everyone, Hope you're all enjoying the summer and getting outside to play. So since we last spoke, the NFL Draft took place and the Colts added a bunch of players to the roster. I always look forward to meeting my new teammates and getting to know them on and off the field. We've added some really good weapons to the team and I know how anxious they are to get in and start showing us what they can do.

It seems like just yesterday that I was in these young guys' shoes, waiting to hear my name called and walking up on that stage. This was the ten-year anniversary of the 1998 Draft and I could certainly remember and relate to what all of these Draft choices were going through. I remember like it was yesterday what it felt like, how exciting and nerve-wracking it was, to be going to a new team, especially an NFL team.

For me, getting drafted that day in April 1998, I was picked around 11 o'clock, did all my interviews, then flew straight to Indianapolis to meet the team. At that point, I was literally handed a playbook and told I was the starting quarterback. Wow, talk about a whirlwind, that was a life-changing day for me. Most of the time, rookies get some time to adjust and work their way in.

In the NFL, you go to work immediately, trying to establish yourself as a player. Everyone has a chance to come in and compete for a spot on the roster, which is why it's so tough. With mini camps and training camp, you really get to see what everyone is made of, and that healthy competition makes the players and our team better.

Alright, well I hope you all are doing well and having fun out there. Talk again soon.
