Mike Hart is the talk of the Indianapolis Colts after his impressive debut on Sunday during the Hall of Fame game.

Not only were fans and media pleased with his showing, but also his coaches and teammates.

Here are some choice words from Coach Dungy:

“We’ve seen that from Mike for four years of college and we’ve seen it every day in practice. He just continues to run hard and block well and catch the ball – do the things you need to get done.”

“When you watch him practise and watch him work, we felt he’d have a good game. He did everything that he was called on to do. … That’s probably what he’s been doing for eight or nine years.”

The Colts coaches and staff have maintained from day 1 that they were more than convinced that Mike Hart would be a great pick for the Colts based on his film. They never gave a second thought to his 40 time. Watching him play Sunday, I don’t think many fans were concerned with his speed either. The Redskins were probably worried, since they couldn’t quickly locate and catch him, but that’s a win-win situation for the Colts.

You know Mike has to feel good after falling to Round 6 in the draft and having people continually doubt him. He said the draft day experience motivated him to go out, work hard, and prove everyone wrong. Looks like he’s well on his way to reaching that goal.

For his part, Mike gave the credit to his offensive line, saying their work allowed him to find those holes and break off his runs. He’s used to running behind a great line. If you’ll remember, this year top draft pick, Jake Long, blocked for Mike for 4 years at Michigan.

Now, the big question is: Can he do it again?

Of course he can. He’s Mike Hart.
