Jeff Locke Eager To Punt, Work With Adam Vinatieri
Intro: New Colts punter Jeff Locke was the first new face to join the Colts in free agency. Why was Locke attracted to the situation in Indianapolis?
INDIANAPOLIS – It probably did not take long for Jeff Locke to realize that the No. 18 jersey he’s worn in college and the NFL was not available in his new home.
Peyton Manning wore No. 18 for the Colts. No one is wearing that number again.
So Locke has cut his original jersey number in half, and will don No. 9 as he takes over for Pat McAfee this fall.
One Hall of Fame number is off Locke’s back, but he’s going to be work directly with another.
After signing with the Colts on the first day of free agency, Locke received a call from Adam Vinatieri.
