With The NFL Combine Done, Where Does Colts' QB Plan Stand?

NFL Combine

The NFL Combine is officially behind us, and the march for what the Colts will do at quarterback continues. Of course, we still have individual pro days and plenty of smokescreen to go through, but that doesn’t change the amount of pressure on the Colts front office to get it right this offseason.
