There’s just a realness that he was a very human person just like all of us,” said former 18-year NFL quarterback Matt Hasselbeck, who played for the Colts from 2013-15.
Jim Irsay, the man who led the Colts out of irrelevancy and made Indianapolis into a football city, died peacefully in his sleep at the age of 65 on Wednesday afternoon, according to an announcement from the team.
Through his love for football, classic rock and, most of all, Indianapolis, Irsay left an indelible impression and turned the Hoosier State into a football hotbed.
