Positives: Brackett is the quintessential gamer, a hardworking grinder who will never take his undrafted roots for granted. What he lacks in physical stature (he’s undersized at 5-11, 235) and pure speed, he more than makes up for with his smarts and nonstop effort. Brackett consistently plays faster and bigger than he is. In the words of one team insider: “He’s a poor man’s Ray Lewis,” a coach on the field who excels at properly lining everybody up on the field within the Colts’ scheme. Although very humble and reserved off the field, he really gets cranked up for games and has become a genuinely inspirational team leader, both on and off the field — an extra dimension that makes him even more valuable.
