Three-day crash course on joining NFL includes 19 tryouts.
By head coach Chuck Pagano’s count, the Indianapolis Colts had 55 players on the practice field Friday for the beginning of three-day rookie mini-camp.
That’s eight draft choices, 21 undrafted signings, 19 tryouts and seven other players from the current roster who haven’t an accrued season and are allowed to participate.
“From an evaluation standpoint, you’re trying to figure out where they’re at from a physical standpoint; see what they’ve been doing between the draft and now and prior to the draft obviously,” Pagano said.
