I live in Western Illinios. Been a Colts fan since '84. I was more of a Cowboys fan from '79(when I started following NFL at age 10) till Jerry Jones bought the team. Then I kind of bounced around Liking Seattle, New Orleans, New England, Indy, and Atlanta. Everyone around here is a Bears or Packers fan. I hated following the crowd so I follow other teams. I settled on the Colts when they Drafted Jeff George(from Ill) and Atlanta(liked IronHead Heyward). Now still like Atlanta(they are the Colts from 1999-2005 trying to win in the playoffs after cruising through the regular season). Will always root for the Colts over Atlanta when they play.

Southern California....  

 

About 30 miles NW of downtown Los Angeles.

 

As a longtime Stanford fan, I've been a Colts fan since they selected Andrew Luck.  (Fleener was an added bonus!)

 

I expect to remain a Colts fan as long as Luck is with the franchise.

 

I also really, really like the Irsay/Grigson/Pagano leadership at the top.    A well run franchise makes all the difference.

 

Sorry,  this was perhaps more than you wanted to know.....      :hide:

I think we'll infect you and you'll be a Colt for life.

I have lived in Mississippi my whole life, but I now work in Memphis, TN.  Back in the Unitas days, our small town's dept store had 1 football uniform left and it was Johnny Unitas Baltimore Colts one...full replica uniform with pads, pants, jersey and helmet.   My father bought it for me for Christmas and I became an instant fan.  I would cry (I was a kid) when they lost and I would go outside and kick the football for hours if we won.  When they moved to Indy, I followed them because they were still the Colts and had that beautiful helmet and uni that I loved.  I also liked the Larry Csonka Dolphins and the Montanna/Rice 49ers, but never more than the Colts.

Born and raised in NY,

 

My colts fan-hood came from  my cousin (also born and raised in NY) who's uncle grew up in Indianapolis.

 

Both of our immediate families were not football fans, I kinda wish my parents were football fans like I am. I would have made a great OLB/DE, but I got into it too late :(

I was born in Indiana and lived here all of my life outside of a few yrs. when I was in the military in New Jersey and Germany, but am always interested in hearing from fans from other parts of the country or world. It's great that we have such a diverse and international fanbase.

Technically, I live in Indiana, however, living in NWI is like living in Chicago. All Bear fans up here, so I get looked at weird when wearing my Colts gear.

Thats how it is here in florida where im at lol. i live closer to the georgia border so most of the NFL fans here are falcon fans, and they give the ones who are dolphin or buc fans the dirtiest looks. almost the same kinda looks i get for being a Gator fan opposed to being a bulldog fan lol.

My dad played HS Football with Jeff Georges brother Dave at warren central. actually he has a picture of him dave and jeff together. dont know how old jeff was, had to be like 10 because Jeff won the state championship at WCHS in 84 i think it was.

:hello:    Ohio Girl  raising hand here.  :hello:    ;)

 

I live in Ohio, but actually it's only a two hour drive to Lucas Oil...   so I don't really consider myself that much of an out-of-towner  :P

 

Love the :coltslogo:

I live in the "forgotten" part of Indiana(SW Indiana) with no direct connection to Indy so you have a shorter drive to Indy than I do.

Originally from SE PA..about 80 miles from Baltimore..I grew up as a Colts fan, watching Bert Jones, Lydell Mitchell, and the "Sack Pack"

 

I now live in SO Cal about 30 miles north of downtown LA

 

My wife is from near Vincennes IN...so I have connections to both Indy and Baltimore with the Colts...

 

Glad to have you aboard

haha i feel you! I live in Florida. I remember my cousin was like "i always wondered why you always talk about indy". It's funny when i tell people im from Indy, I was born in Indianapolis but moved like 2 weeks after so i never have been able to see the city but I represent Indy all the time and I'm proud being from indy. Hopefully one day i will visit

    • Nice mock. Most of the players you took, end up with the colts in my mocks,too. Really like it!
    • Does anyone really think that Chief roster is good enough to make the playoffs minus Mahomes? I don't. If it weren't for mahomes, their running backs would scare no one. They would have one reliable pass catcher who be be able to make plays(Kelce). And there defense would suddenly look very ordinary and wear down from an offense that would go three and out way to often(think our offense with Matt Ryan and his ability to not throw the ball downfield). When you have a qb the caliber of Mahomes you can do things differently because Mahomes makes everyone else on the team look better. Question, how many superbowls did Reid win in his career before Mahomes became his qb?
    • Nice mock.  Don't have anything negative to say about it.  Would be happy if Colts got these players.
    • In this mock, I drafted defense early, then went with best fit / BPA approach.  Mitchell helps solidify the CB room.  Cooper is compared to The Maniac (that would be awesome if true).  Jenkins for depth on DL.  OC from Wisc to replace Kelly in a year or 2.  I'm a fan of UofL Cardinals, so had to pick Guerendo.  And Ford would replace MAC while on a rookie contract.  What do you guys think?   15. Quinyon Mitchell, CB Toledo Height: 6 - 0 |Weight: 195 lbs |RAS: 9.84 Strengths - Can click and close and undercut passes in an instant with his elite recovery speed - Proven ball-hawk with six interceptions and 37 pass breakups over past two years - Energized short-area mover with torrid foot speed and effervescent corrective twitch - Adept processor in off-man and zone, who can instantly trigger on route breaks - Has the frame, targeted physicality, agility, and fluidity to dictate reps in press-man - Has the versatility to play the boundary or the slot in man, off-man, or zone coverage Weaknesses - Doesn’t quite have elite fluidity and sink when bending to close ground on hitches - Can be baited into making premature hip transitions by nuanced WRs at stems - Relatively inexperienced in press-man, and can improve upper-lower synergy - Can keep shoring up his tackling form as a support defender   51. Edgerrin Cooper, LB Texas A&M Height: 6 - 2 |Weight: 230 lbs |RAS: 9.34 Linebackers who naturally, and consistently, make plays, are impossible to replicate. They can run a 4.7 40-yard dash and still be valuable because they process information at lightning speed and are innate playmakers. Edgerrin Cooper is that player, but with outstanding athleticism and length. That length allows him to wrangle ball carriers with an incredibly high hit rate. He knifes through blockers and consistently makes plays around the line of scrimmage, while also providing a bump as a pass rusher. Dalton Miller   82. Kris Jenkins, DT Michigan Height: 6 - 2 |Weight: 299 lbs |RAS: 8.92 Being the son of a former NFL All-Pro, it’s no surprise that Jenkins has some of the most enthralling tools in the class. He’s an incredibly explosive athlete off the snap, both laterally and vertically, and has suffocating strength at the point of attack. Going further, with his burst, twitch, and mass, Jenkins can levy impressive amounts of power into his attacks, and as he trends up with his hand usage and energy efficiency, it’s exciting to think about the potential that remains unearthed. -Ian Cummings   103. Jermaine Burton, WR Alabama Height: 6 - 0 |Weight: 196 lbs |RAS: 9.54   117. Dadrion Taylor-Demerson, S Texas Tech Height: 5 - 10 |Weight: 197 lbs |RAS: 8.87   151. Tanor Bortolini, OC Wisconsin Height: 6 - 4 |Weight: 303 lbs |RAS: 9.79   158. Javion Cohen, OG Miami (FL) Height: 6 - 4 |Weight: 324 lbs |RAS: N/A   202. Isaac Guerendo, RB Louisville Height: 6 - 0 |Weight: 221 lbs |RAS: 9.98   219. Brevyn Spann-Ford, TE Minnesota Height: 6 - 6 |Weight: 260 lbs |RAS: 7.58  
    • I've seen talk in Colts forums (not just this one) that says the Colts need to stack talent and not just picks.  So this mock addresses that strategy.  Traded back a few times to get 6 picks in the top 85.  Opinions?   26. Adonai Mitchell, WR Texas 54. Trey Benson, RB Florida State 56. Ruke Orhorhoro, DT Clemson 57. Payton Wilson, LB NC State 82. Max Melton, CB Rutgers 85. Will Shipley, RB Clemson 234. Prince Pines, OG Tulane 2025 DAL 6th   Didn't realize I had drafted 2 RBs until done, so, probably wouldn't have done that.  But Shipley was the best talent available at that pick.  And he is a great receiving RB, which could've helped vs Texans in the last game.
