TE Ben Hartsock (New York Jets)

This surprises me with Dallas Clark and Pollard still there.
Maybe Pollard is on his way out?
I like Ben a lot. He's a great kid and I think the Colts got a potential great TE.

INDIANAPOLIS — Former Unioto High School and Ohio State standout Ben Hartsock can finally get down to the business of playing professional football.
Hartsock, the third-round (68th overall) pick in April’s NFL Draft by the Indianapolis Colts, inked a three-year, $1.474 million contract with the club Wednesday.
Hartsock’s deal includes a $554,000 signing bonus and minimum base salaries of $230,000 this season, $305,000 in 2005 and $385,000 in 2006.
Hartsock, a tight end, will report to the Colts’ first training camp Sunday at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology in Terre Haute, Ind.
Hartsock is a 6-foot-4, 262-pounder who has been compared to former Colts’ tight end Ken Dilger. Colts coach Tony Dungy described him as a “point-of-attack, line-of-scrimmage guy” and a strong blocker.

This was my favorite Buckeye. Now he is my favorite Colt.
Ben is going to do well. I think he is highly underated. Especially as a pass catcher.

Very nice pickup for the Colts...

[Buckeye513]

He'll be joining Mike Doss.

I couldn't be happier for any Buckeye of recent years. He's from my hometown, and he's generally regarded by football and non-football types as a good guy and from a really nice family.

Ben I hope you have a long and glorious career and if not, they'll always love you in Chillicothe.

Hartsock caught his first pass of the season today, for a 7 yard gain.

Maybe he can get a td from Sorgi today.

Good for him!!!!!!!!!! I really don't like the Colts though.

That would be great...perhaps a foretaste of better things tomorrow!

GO Beat the Domers!

Good to hear Hartsock is getting the chance to play and a new contract. One of my all-time favorite Buckeyes.

Good for Ben. Glad to see it.

[OSUsushichic]

Hartsock and Clark make a killer TE duo for the Colts.

[exhawg]

Ben has such good hands it would be nice if they'd throw to him more often. Too bad for him he is an even better blocker. I'd gladly take him in Cleveland over Heiden and Shea.
