The Facts: Ryan appears to have single-handedly shortened the Indianapolis Colts' first two training camp practices. The Colts blazed through their scripted practice sessions 10 minutes early, both Wednesday and Thursday. "That's because of the quarterback," head coach Frank Reich said, via the team's official website. "We've never practiced that fast. It's a mentality. It's a confidence. It's, we gotta get up and play. We're dictating the tempo from the huddle to the ball and we're going."

Diehards Line:The praise out of Indy for the new quarterback has been effusive all offseason, and the Colts are getting a firsthand look at how Ryan can take their team to the next level. After a disappointing end to last season under Carson Wentz, Indy imported Ryan in an effort to get over the hump. The former NFL MVP is already proving his worth in the nascent stages of camp. "You can't waste any time," Ryan said. "That's a message for young guys, it can't wait. It's every day, it's every rep we've gotta maximize the time we spend out here because before you know it, we're going to look up, we're going to be in Houston and we're going to be keeping score. We got to make sure that we keep that mindset daily, to have ourselves ready to go. ..." A sense of urgency is a good starting point. Having an accurate passer like Ryan could add to that.
