The Colts do some draft day wheeling and dealing trading WR Andre Rison, and draft picks to the Atlanta Falcons so they could move up and draft Indianapolis native Jeff George, with the number 1 overall pick. George would have a stellar rookie season passing for 2,152 yards while throwing 16 TD passes. However, things were not as sunny for RB Eric Dickerson who held out of training camp, during a contract dispute. The Colts would end up suspending Dickerson 4 games for conduct detrimental to the team. He would return late in the season and rush for 677 yards, as the Colts finished with a 7-9 record.
