“[I can help by] doing what I do, making plays, moving the chains, being there for the quarterbacks,” he said. “Being a veteran, [I am someone that] somebody that can ask questions, look forward to and just kind of show ‘em.”

That’s how I was raised in the NFL world, you know, learning that game.”
While teasing his plans with the Colts, the six-time Pro Bowler hinted that he was “definitely ready to go” in time for the 2026-2027 season.
