Colts 'focused' on NFL draft, mum on pursuit of QB Lamar Jackson

INDIANAPOLIS - Colts coach Shane Steichen, asked whether the team has turned its focus away from free-agent Lamar Jackson and toward the NFL draft in its pursuit of a franchise quarterback, suggested the team is currently more preoccupied with the draft.

"We're focused on the draft and I'm focused on the guys that are in the building right now," said Steichen, whose team kicked off its offseason program this week. "That's where we're at."

The Colts have been perhaps the team most closely linked to Jackson, who was franchised by the Baltimore Ravens but is eligible to negotiate with any team.
