In the blink of an eye, Mo Alie-Cox suddenly became the elder statesman in the tight end room for the Indianapolis Colts.
The retirement of Jack Doyle paved the way toward Alie-Cox receiving a new three-year deal this offseason and now that he looks around the room as the starter, he quickly realized he’s the one everyone else will look up to.
“Being the leader in the room, going first in every drill, setting an example and just showing all the new guys what it is. It’s me,” Alie-Cox said Wednesday. “I’m going into Year Six, the next one is Kylen (Granson), he’s going into Year Two. So, it’s just like being a mentor to all the young guys in the room, showing them little things to do day in and day out and showing them how to be a pro.”
