The Colts supported Garcon all along the way — and still do.
“It starts at the top with Jim Irsay, and I think all of our players do a tremendous job in that area,” coach Jim Caldwell said after Wednesday morning’s special-teams only practice. “Pierre has found a certain situation dear to his heart, it’s his home country and I think that’s important.”
Garcon has been a busy man since fans last saw him suit up in a Colts uniform.
Besides the trip, Garcon earned his college degree in communications and sports business from Mount Union in Ohio, a Division III school. He spent the rest of the spring working out at the Colts mini-camps and plotting new ways to keep his pet project in the spotlight.
He’s also been an inspiration to his teammates.
“People saw the jump he made from his first year, and I’m using that as an example for this year,” second-year receiver Austin Collie said. “This year, there needs to be a huge improvement over last year.”
