Isn’t that special

2. The potential of P Pat McAfee. One of the most intriguing areas of the  Colts’ special teams continues to be McAfee. Now in his second season,  he is one of the more entertaining personalities of the Colts’ locker  room, but that’s not what makes him important to the team. As a rookie,  he gave Indianapolis a punter with the ability to punt the team out of  negative field-position situations, something at which long-time veteran  Hunter Smith wasn’t quite as effective. McAfee in several situations  flipped field position in important situations, which was one of the  reaons the team used a seventh-round selection on him in the 200 NFL  Draft. Most interesting about McAfee is he only began punting in  college, and while there, typically did so from a spread formation. Last  year essentially was his first punting in a professional style, and he  and Caldwell each think he can get significantly better in the coming  seasons.
