I wonder if Schwenke has been part of that group?
Drafted by the Colts without playing on any other NFL team:
Castonzo = Going into 7th year on team (2011 1st round draft pick)
Mewhort = Going into 4th year on team (2014 2nd round draft pick)
Good = Going into 3rd year on team (2015 7th round draft pick)
Kelly = Going into 2nd year on team (2016 1st round draft pick)
Clark = Going into 2nd year on team (2016 3rd round draft pick)
Haeg = Going into 2nd year on team (2016 5th round draft pick)
Blythe = Going into 2nd year on team (2016 7th round draft pick)
Redmond = Going into 2nd year on team (2016 UDFA)
Vujnovich = Going into 2nd year on team (2016 UDFA)
Cage = Going into 2nd year on team (2016 UDFA)
O-Line players NOT drafted by Colts:
Schwenke = 1st year with Colts; 4 years previously with TEN (2013 4th round draft pick)
Cooper = 1st year with Colts; 1 year previously with SF (2016 5th round draft pick)
You know what one of the common traits of all of these guys are?
NONE of them are married! Yeah, they have all the time in the world to just hang out, pump iron, eat a ton of carbs and work on the playbook.
I am honestly pumped about how this group should look this season. Between what we saw on the field by the end of the year and the stories about Philbin's success as an O-Line coach, I really don't think we need to spend high draft picks on O-Line. I am firmly convinced that Clark will settle at RT and that the best of Haeg, Good or Schwenke will win RG and be good with a couple of experienced depth guys.
Cheers,
