 Well it's been six years since Joe Hegg last took the field for the Brainerd Warrior football team. Now he's a starting offensive lineman in the NFL for the Indianapolis Colts. Hegg returned to the Brainerd Lakes area this afternoon to meet fans of all ages and also signed autographs for a benefit for the Brainerd Football Association. He took some time away from signing footballs and pictures to talk about the upcoming season. No I'm really excited I think that we got a heck of a lot of guys are training in offense and we also have you know a lot of young guys in defense were gonna be fast so I'm excited to see how that goes and yeah you know I'm excited to get out there and you know get up to training camp and get started. The Colts opened the season September 10th at the LA Coliseum against the Rams. It will play three times on national TV Clayton Castle will have more on Hegg tomorrow night.
