Larry Coyer relates to his younger players
As the Colts’ middle linebacker, Brackett covers a great deal of ground. He is a good storyteller too, and he got excited last week when asked for a Coyer story. He told this tale about working to be a “swamp drainer.”
And sticking with the animal analogies he shared this favorite Coyer line as well: “Don’t be the dog that barks out loud, be the dog that is quiet that’ll bite you.”
Brackett’s the sort of football player who soaks that stuff up.
“I’ve always been a guy who respected my elders and just loved to sit and talk because of the wisdom he has about how to use the story in real life,” he said.
