INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) - Green Bay will bring a familiar face to town when they play the Colts on Sunday, fan favorite Jeff Saturday. Up until this season, the now-Packers center had spent his entire 13-year career in the NFL with the Colts.
Saturday is sure to get a rousing welcome; he's bringing about 70 family members and friends to the game.
The transition for his family to Green Bay has been a lot easier than his transition to a new team.
“My kids, they've joined right in and had no issue,” said Saturday. “Football-wise it's taken some getting used to. It's just a completely different system. I'm still learning each and every week. You're still piecing the thing together, so it was interesting how it all kind of plays out.”
Even though there are still some teammates Saturday keeps in touch with, coming back won’t be the same with all the off-season roster movement.
"There's a new general manager, new coaching staff, mostly new players. It's not the same Colts. But it's the horseshoe. It's the blue. It's the same things you rallied around for so many years,'' he said. "I'm sure it's going to be tough. But you have to put it aside and take it for the job that it is,” according to Saturday.
