Rayford's path to the NFL has been more unusual.
At 6-foot-7, 267 pounds and armed with a gigantic wingspan, the 27-year-old rookie linebacker came to Indy after stops with the Arena Football League's Spokane Shock,Asics Fuzex Rush Femme, the Canadian Football League's British Columbia Lions and the AFL's Utah Blaze. A late bloomer, who used to carry around a bag of peanut butter, jelly and a loaf of bread just to gain weight, Rayford has put on more than 30 pounds since leaving college and this giant now serves as one of the most imposing figures in Indy's locker room.
