DeForest Buckner Praises Colts HC Shane Steichen: 'I Could Just Feel His Intensity'

The Indianapolis Colts have a lot of questions going into this season, but new head coach Shane Steichen is doing his best to ingratiate himself to the team.

DeForest Buckner has strong recall of his first interaction with Steichen.

"I could just feel his intensity," Buckner told ESPN's Stephen Holder.

Steichen brings an excellent resume to Indianapolis for his first stint as a head coach. The 38-year-old was the offensive coordinator for the Los Angeles Chargers in 2020 when Justin Herbert set NFL rookie records with 396 completions and 31 touchdown passes.
