5 Nuggets Left by Colts' GM Chris Ballard in Season-Ending Presser
It is one of the most anticipated press conferences all year for fans of the Indianapolis Colts.
At the beginning of every offseason, Colts' general manager Chris Ballard sits down with the media to answer any questions surrounding the team. While most general managers keep their season-ending pressers short and sweet, Ballard offers unbridled access.
The feel of this season-ending presser was much different than last year. After a 4-12-1 season, the future for the Colts was very uncertain. But after a year that saw rookie head coach Shane Steichen lead the team to a 9-8 record, flashes of greatness from rookie quarterback Anthony Richardson, and a shot at the playoffs, substantial progress was made. The Colts still have work to do, but there is excitement for the future on W 56th Street.
"I hate losing. I’m tired of it," Ballard admitted. "I’m tired of not being in the playoffs. That’s on me. But I’m encouraged with where we’re going and I’m confident with where we’re going.”
As always, Ballard left some nuggets as to what the team is thinking and the direction of the Colts over the next few months. Here are five nuggets that stood out from Ballard’s 50-minute presser.
Richardson Impressing Greatly
Gus Bradley Staying
Pittman, Stewart Priority Free Agents
