The Colts also signed undrafted free agent center Rick Schmeig, a two-year starter at Purdue.

"That is so correct" Werner told WFNI-AM in Indianapolis, via SportsRadioInterviews.com. "I knew every NFL star probably when I was 12, 13 or 14. I learned every team, every player in the game and I always created my little All-Star games, All-Star teams. I was just telling a few people when I was 12, 13, 14, I played with Robert Mathis and Dwight Freeney. They were like the dynamic duo for years. Now I'm going to play with Robert Mathis. He's going to be my veteran. I can ask questions, I can look up to him. This is just so amazing and so unbelievable."

Hughes had the most playing time of the three released, appearing in five games with one start last season. He had one 5-yard rush and a 3-yard reception. Alexander spent time on the Colts’ and Tennessee Titans’ practice squads last season before he signed a reserve/future contract with the Colts in January. Loiseau joined the Colts’ practice squad last November, then also signed a reserve/future contract. A Colts release announced the free agent rookie signings of Boston College offensive tackle Emmett Cleary, Lindenwood running back Denodus O’Bryant, UCLA cornerback Sheldon Price, Wagner linebacker C.O.

Buffalo traded Kelvin Sheppard to the Indianapolis Colts for Jerry Hughes on Monday in a swap of linebackers two days after the NFL draft.

Sheppard, a 2011 second-round pick from LSU, has been inconsistent in two seasons in Buffalo. He had 138 tackles and two sacks in 31 games, including 24 starts.

Hughes was the Colts' 2010 first-round draft pick from TCU. He's had 62 tackles and five sacks in 40 games, including seven starts, but had difficulty finding his niche on the Colts defense.

Kerwynn has very good straight line speed that allows him to run away from defenders once in the open field. He shows good vision and patients to wait for holes to open in front of him. Although he is a short back he has a solid frame which makes him effective in short yardage runs. He is also a threat as a receiver as he shows soft, natural hands.

Hughes is a wide-body nose tackle with the agility scouts and coaches love to see. He needed a prep school detour for academic issues, which dogged him during his time in Tennessee as well before his dismissal from that program. Teams will need to see him prove his work ethic, but if he does, he could be a nice rotational piece for a 4-3 base defensive team at the next level.

Holmes dealt with ankle and leg injuries all season, and the Trojans interior offensive line took a huge step back without him.

But Thornton fought through all of that, along with a couple of off-field mistakes, to become a versatile lineman (started at both tackle spots and weak-side guard) and a solid mid-round interior prospect for zone-blocking teams because of his upper-body strength and foot quickness.

The Colts could draft any position outside of quarterback, so that allows for a level of flexibility. At the same time, there's quality to be had at No. 24. Aaron Rodgers, Steven Jackson, Ed Reed and Dez Bryant have all been drafted No. 24 overall.

If there isn't an early quarterback run, there could be teams looking to get back into the first round before quarterback-needy organizations come around a second time. A team with a late first-round pick may want to slide up a few spots and dangle a second-rounder knowing the Colts sent theirs to the Miami Dolphins for Vontae Davis.

"I think it's the Colts offense, but it will be good," Luck said when asked about comparing it to the Stanford offense. "I'm excited to get to work with him (Hamilton). I think it will be good to not have to learn a whole new thing."

The upside of the change is that the Colts will have at least three players —- Luck, Coby Fleener and Whalen, all Stanford alums —- around to help teach their NFL teammates how it works.

There's at least one player Luck does not intend to mentor: Reggie Wayne.

"Reggie's too smart, he doesn't need me teaching him anything," Luck said.

McNary, who is currently commissioned in the United States Army, will finish his active duty service prior to joining the team. “Josh had an outstanding career at West Point,” said General Manager Ryan Grigson. “His production speaks for itself, but his intangibles rival any stats. He is still fulfilling the commitment he made to serving our country, but we look forward to him wearing the horseshoe here in the near future.” “There’s no specific date just yet that we want to put out there but after my two-year mark. My two-year mark is May 21st. That doesn’t necessarily mean I’ll be out immediately after that date but that’s the policy and everything. That’s the point of when I can be released of my military obligation and seek employment to the next level, the NFL,” said Josh McNary. McNary, 6-0, 251 pounds, finished his career as Army’s all-time leader in sacks (28.0) and tackles for loss (49), while adding 195 tackles (117 solo), nine passes defensed, five forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries. He is the only player in school history to record two double-digit sack seasons and also holds school records for the most sacks in a single game (4.0) and a single season (12.5). “I’m pretty confident. I’m confident in my own abilities and I’m confident in the Colts staff, the organization’s staff and what they see in me. Those two things combined, I’m pretty confident,” said McNary.

Ware worked out for New England Patriots running backs coach Ivan Fears on Monday along with LSU running back Michael Ford and wide receiver Russell Shepard.

Ware is a 5-foot-10, 228-pounder coming off a left hamstring injury.

At his campus Pro Day workout, he bench pressed 225 pounds 17 times and had a 35 1/2 inch vertical leap, a 9-11 broad jump, a 4.27 20-yard shuttle and a 7.28 three-cone drill.

Ware led the Tigers in rushing in 2011, but had 91 carries for 358 yards last season.
