The Indianapolis Colts have gained a reputation that has made them one of the most classy organizations in all of sports. It was clear in last weekends draft that the Colts value character over talent. They passed on several decorated players due to past criminal records and college violations.
They have also been criticized for letting players go for drug related violations. When asked about the stictness in the organization quarterback Peyton Manning said, "we are professional athletes, we know that with big contracts come big responsibilities." I feel that the Colts strategy, although heavily criticized, has payed off. Passing on several talented players and building a team around character has got them to two Super Bowls in the past four seasons.
