The Facts: Fleener said recently, per Mike Chappell of Indy Sports Central, that he's looking to cut down on mental errors and simple things like drops. "There's stuff that anybody who's watching the game can pick out. ... (Dropped passes) are probably the most frustrating because everybody can see them," Fleener said.
Diehards Line:
"This year for me is just about making sure every single play is done correctly," added Fleener, who is playing out the last year of his contract. "At this point in my career, there should be no more mental errors. ... It's easy to say, but hard to do." Fleener goes way back with Andrew Luck: They starred together at Stanford and were both selected by Indianapolis in the 2012 draft. But as he heads into his fourth year in the league, Fleener now has more competition than ever for Luck's throws. In addition, the Colts are still saying they plan to feature the tight end position, where fourth-year man Dwayne Allen (8 TDs last year, matching Fleener) is also a factor. Fleener was targeted 92 times last year, to Allen's 50. Allen is also in the last season of his rookie deal. Whatever the case, it's getting more crowded in Indy. It'll be interesting to see how the targets are being distributed when training camp opens.
