Gene Huey has a saying, “Pull back the bow string and receive the gift of the story.”
Standing on the Colts practice field last year, I engaged the former Colts running backs coach in a conversation. And the story I received was truly a gift.
The longest tenured coach in franchise history, Huey played defensive back in the American Football League and came up through the college ranks coaching wide receivers and running backs.
“I ended up getting a chance through Ted Marchibroda and four other head coaches including Tony Dungy to work here at the Colts for 19 years,” he said as he gazed at the banners on the wall.
