Signing as an unrestricted free agent this past March with the Indianapolis Colts not only resurrected Daniel Jones’s career but also returned a winning attitude back to the organization.

At the start of the Colts training camp last July in Westfield, Indiana, from fans to media members, you could count on one hand the number of people who would have predicted the team going 8–2 at the season’s midway point. If Colts head coach Shane Steichen, offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter, and the rest of the coaching staff were giddy when Jones came aboard as the starting quarterback, imagine how over the moon—or goalpost—they are feeling now.
