Carson Wentz was at Colts OTAs on Monday to get work in with his new teammates following the March trade from the Philadelphia Eagles. And I must say that there’s no better way to endear yourself to a new group of teammates than putting forth an admirable showing in a game of knockout.
Like, it’s a fact. Knockout is just that fun of a game.
The Colts ended their OTA session by holding a big game of knockout on the practice field with a portable hoop, and the final round came down to Wentz and tight end Mo Alie-Cox who was a three-year starter on VCU’s basketball team.
And you know what — that final round was actually intense.

Alie-Cox and Wentz went back and forth for nearly 10 turns before the Colts tight end won the game with a jumper.
Outside of a missed layup, Wentz had a solid effort. And for a player who didn’t attempt a single 3 in his college career, Alie-Cox’s shot was pretty nice.
It’s just more proof that the NFL needs to add knockout to the Pro Bowl skills challenge. It’s easily the best recess game out there.
