Last year, Indianapolis Colts tight end Jack Doyle came out of nowhere.
Doyle was second on the team in targets, receptions, and receiving yards, and his presence is a big reason why new general manager Chris Ballard was content to send Dwayne Allen to the New England Patriots. With Allen now gone, Doyle is set to be the Colts’ starter for 2017.
But this isn't about Jack Doyle -- it’s about the tight end who could become this year’s version of him, and it happens to be the guy behind Doyle on the depth chart: Erik Swoope.
