Anyway, Silva was on the kickoff and punt coverage teams. You remember him. Since joining the Colts as an undrafted player out of Boston College in 2008, he had this kind of Tazmanian Devil-type quality to him. The hair was long. He played fast and tough. The guy always looked like he was having a ton of fun.
The Colts also counted on him for blocks on kickoff and punt return teams, too. You get the idea. Some will say, “What’s the big deal? He just played special teams.” Others will realize how rare it is to have a guy who does it all on those teams and is a leader.
