The Facts: The Colts have spent the better part of two months getting to know the man who will make the biggest impact on the 2021 season. The Colts are starting to get a sense of Wentz. "He's got a great sense of humor, doesn't take himself too seriously," GM Chris Ballard said Friday. "He's dialed in, he works. I'd probably compare him a little more to Andrew (Luck) than to Philip (Rivers)."

Diehards Line: Ballard admittedly is still in the early stages of getting to know Wentz -- the general manager has spent most of the last couple of weeks locked in the draft room, preparing the Indianapolis board for the draft. But the Colts have had success with both approaches, the gregarious love of the game that Rivers carried and the quieter personality of Luck. As different as their personalities might be, though, there is one clear similarity between Wentz and Rivers in the way they've approached their first few months after joining Indianapolis. Wentz has been hard at work building relationships with his new teammates. From video chats with defensive backs to throwing sessions with Michael Pittman Jr. and Dezmon Patmon in California to helping recruit T.Y. Hilton back to Indianapolis, Wentz had already been working hard to build bonds before the beginning of the Colts' virtual offseason program earlier this week. "He's comfortable in his own skin," Ballard said. "He's been great. Great to be around, great family, great perspective on life. He's going to be a good player for us." Wentz also has another advantage that helped Rivers immensely last season, and it should become apparent as soon as Indianapolis is able to take the field this spring, whenever that may be. He's already fluent in Frank Reich. The Colts are counting heavily on Reich's familiarity with Wentz to get the former Eagle back to the way he was playing from 2017 to 2019, before a disastrous 2020 season in Philadelphia led the Eagles to trade their former franchise quarterback. If Reich can get Wentz back to form, the team believes Indianapolis already has its franchise quarterback.
