In a new interview with the Detroit Free Press, Mike had the following to say with regards to his transition to the NFL:

The only surprise is it’s not as tough as I thought it was going to be, as far as practice and those type of things. It’s more laid back.”

Mike explains that the emphasis the rookies is on teaching and learning the new system, so practices aren’t as intense as he thought they’d be. I’m sure the intensity will come with next month’s training camp in Terre Haute, IN.

It’s very nice to see that Mike is faring well with the Colts. We haven’t seen that many new articles from him since he reported to Indy.

Mike spoke to the Freep from an autograph signing in Flint (I did not know about that one, so couldn’t give a head’s up. Sorry!) Click here for another write-up and a video from the event, courtesy of NBC25.
