The 6th round rookie, sat out the openner then played 6 games (starting 2) before a shoulder injury ended his season.
Santi caught 10 of 13 passes thrown his way for 64 yards and a great TD catch that kicked off the epic comeback against the Texans. He showed a lot of promise putting up his entire recieving line in his first 3 games. He was shut out in the next 3 and inactive for the following 3 and IRed for the remaining 6.
Contract: Signed through 2011, salary terms unknown but this year was a minimum salary and 21,695K of signing bonus against the cap (x4 = 86,780K total bonus).
Santi has shown the recieving skills to be the #2 TE and is a solid blocker. He'll be fighting Honey Gijon Robinson for the starting spot when camp rolls around.

I’m way too proud of thinking of/doing it, but now they all link to the page with all the reviews.

I am a big believer in Tom Santi
I was pleased as punch the Colts drafted him last year, as I firmly believe he’ll become a better #2 TE than Ben Utecht (with his constant fumbling and injury-prone concerns).
Injuries really derailed his rookie season unfortunately. He missed almost all of training camp thanks to an injury and played in only the last preseason game, I believe it was, and then was unfortunately thrown into the fire early this season thanks to injuries. In a complicated offense that was struggling mightily at every level, in that period of time. And then as noted in the article, Santi’s rookie season was cut short thanks to a major shoulder injury.
Hopefully he’s fully healed up though, he should be, plus now Santi has a year under his belt going into the ’09 season.
