Joe Fortunato, a former walk-on at Delaware, tried out for the Indianapolis Colts on Thursday and was given a contract before leaving Colts headquarters. He will try to unseat five-year veteran Matt Overton for long snapping duties.
Overton has handled the position very well, working with Colt greats Adam Vinatieri and Pat McAfee. The three formed quite a bond over the last 5 seasons, although the bond was broken when McAfee retired last month.
Fortunato is a big man at 6’5″ and more than 240 pounds.
