Harvard, Yale Players Take Rivalry to Colts' Locker Room

INDIANAPOLIS — Undrafted running back Tyler Varga fits right into the Colts' locker room.

Here, players routinely tout their alma maters and playfully trade barbs with guys who attended rival schools. So when Varga pulls out a camouflage baseball hat with the blue letter "Y," it barely draws a response from his new teammates — with one notable exception.

Zack Hodges, an undrafted rookie from Harvard, knows exactly what that darned letter signifies: He's still chasing the former Yale star around a football field, this time in the NFL. It's becoming the game within The Game.

"It's cool," Varga said. "It's a little friendly competition."

Friendly, maybe, but the passion hasn't subsided.

Ask Hodges…
