Former New York Giants running back Ahmad Bradshaw is visiting the Indianapolis Colts on Thursday in an attempt to find a job before the end of the NFL's spring session, a person informed of the visit told USA TODAY Sports.
The person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the team hasn't announced the visit, confirmed the initial report from ProFootballTalk.com.
Bradshaw completed six good seasons with the Giants and scored the Super Bowl XLVI-winning touchdown against the New England Patriots. But he also underwent surgeries on nagging issues with his feet and ankles that kept him from playing a full 16-game slate in all but one season with the Giants.
Teams have been wary of Bradshaw's lower-leg issues this offseason. He visited the Pittsburgh Steelers and received some interest from the Green Bay Packers and Denver Broncos. However all those teams eventually selected running backs in the second round of the draft.
Though Bradshaw remains unsigned, he could be a good value at a minimum deal — or slightly more — for a competing team right now.
The Colts have Donald Brown, Vick Ballard and Delone Carter at running back and could use a veteran presence. They're also looking to better protect quarterback Andrew Luck, and pass protection is one of Bradshaw's strengths.
