'Savagery': Kwity Paye, Colts' first-rounder last year, intent on taking game to next level

INDIANAPOLIS — Kwity Paye’s rookie season had just ended in disappointment and disgrace, part of a team that choked away its playoff chances in Jacksonville, and as the team boarded the bus for the airport, most of the Colts were still trying to make sense of what happened.

Paye’s mind had already moved forward.

To how he was going to get better.

“I was thinking about everything I was going to do this offseason, all the work I’m to put in,” Paye said. “I was eager. … I can fix my angles, my technique.”

Paye, the first pass rusher the franchise had taken in the first round since Bjorn Werner in 2012, had been through a ringer of a rookie season.
