Colts looked past Antonio Morrison's past problems because he's a 'dog'

INDIANAPOLIS -- Acquiring players with a checkered past off the field has been a touchy subject lately for the Indianapolis Colts.

But University of Florida linebacker Antonio Morrison, who had some off-the-field issues, was still on board when the Colts picked in the fourth round of last weekend’s draft. The Colts want players who have some nastiness, toughness and, well, some dog in them.

Morrison fits all those traits.

He fits those traits so well on the football field that the Colts were willing to look past his two arrests, including one for barking at a dog, almost three years ago.
