Colts GM Chris Ballard said it's time for Ben Banogu to step up. Is the former 2nd-rounder ready?

INDIANAPOLIS — Ben Banogu doesn’t want to spend a whole lot of time talking about last season.

The lack of snaps, the streak of six games that he was a healthy scratch, the fact that he was a healthy scratch again for the Colts’ playoff loss in Buffalo; Banogu isn’t offering a lot of detail on any of those issues this summer.

He has reason.

That’s all in the past. The year ahead — Banogu’s third since the Colts used a second-round pick on him, No. 49 overall — is the most important of Banogu’s young NFL career.
