If your organization can provide such opportunities, the Colts would welcome the opportunity to work with you in an area mutually beneficial to the Colts, to your business and to Colts players."

The site goes on to list the contact information for Steve Champlin, Director of Player Development, and asks prospective employers to provide their contact information and a brief summary of the role.
