Had some hiccups, but played ok overall
It wasn’t long ago that Linkenbach (6-4, 311) couldn’t have imagined protecting the blind side of Peyton Manning, the only four-time Most Valuable Player in NFL history. He was a quiet redshirt freshman at the University of Cincinnati when he got his first start. While the finance major had a productive college career, no teams came calling on draft weekend.
Linkenbach liked the Colts for their next-man-up philosophy, but it was more important that his professional opportunity came less than two hours from his collegiate home.
Linkenbach, 23, is from Sandusky, Ohio, and is comfortable in the Midwest.
