Jonah Laulu’s reaction to the Colts’ call
Laulu wasn’t picked until round 6. He was surely desperate for a move but had probably lost hope too. When the Indianapolis Colts’ General Manager Chris Ballard rang the Defensive tackle, he laughed out loud after hearing Laulu’s response.
When Ballard introduced himself and welcomed the young blood to Indianapolis telling him that the Colts had drafted him, Laulu thought he was being pranked. He asked Ballard if it was a prank call. The Colts’ GM promised that it wasn’t a prank call and had a healthy laugh about the humorous reply.
