The Indianapolis Colts signed undrafted tight end Erik Swoope despite the fact he had never played a down of organized football in his life, and his chances of making it on the gridiron seemed slim.

After Swoope's performance in last week's rookie minicamp, though, coach Chuck Pagano believes the Colts have may have something in the former Miami hoopster who has run the 40 in the low 4.6's and has a 35-inch vertical.

"To be able to just break a huddle, get in a stance, run the routes that he ran, catch the balls that he caught, I mean, off the charts, exceeded our expectations way beyond anything that you'd ever imagine for a guy that never played," Pagano said, via the team's official website. "If he continues to work -- he's a bright guy, he's smart, he picks things up, he looks like he's got great passion for this -- who knows?"
