INDIANAPOLIS – Just eight days away from arguably the most important working event of his professional life, Chris Ballard sounds like a kid on Christmas morning.
Daily draft meetings, running from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., do not seem to be affecting the mood of the Colts general manager.
He’s ready for Draft No. 1, sitting in the big seat.
“It is exciting,” Ballard repeated three times on Wednesday afternoon at his pre-draft press conference.
“Really cool, really cool to be able to do it.”
Ballard spoke about the draft for more than 20 minutes on Wednesday.
