Heyward-Bey has decided to continue his career in Indianapolis and told reporters today why he went with the Colts. “At the end, I just had to follow my heart and I just felt comfortable there,” Heyward-Bey told reporters during an introductory conference call. “I just felt comfortable. I mean my whole life I’ve followed my heart on decisions and I’ve made tough decisions in my life before. So in this case I kind of did the same thing. I took the information in front of me when it came to the Colts and other things and in the end my heart told me to take it.”

Heyward-Bey explained that the decision came down to the Colts and the Lions. PFT's Mike Florio notes there were rumors the Jets were interested, but that Heyward-Bey wasn’t. The decision to go with the Colts is hard to fault. In addition to playing opposite Reggie Wayne, Heyward-Bey said pointed to continuity being a factor. “You know that [Andrew Luck] is going to be your quarterback,” Heyward-Bey said. “There’s no question about that. In Oakland, there were times when we weren’t sure going into a week and we had to adjust on the fly. Knowing that Andrew is going to be back there feels good.” In fact, Heyward-Bey reminded reporters he went through three coaches, four offensive coordinators and seven starting quarterbacks in Oakland, so it's not hard to understand his enthusiasm.
