All of Us (Indianapolis Colts)

All of Us is a series from the Indianapolis Colts that profiles the people who make up the organization. Each short episode, usually two to four minutes, introduces one staff member and their role.

Episodes include chief operating officer Pete Ward, director of operations Jeff Brown, producer and on-air talent Larra Overton and team nutritionist Kirsten Gregurich. Together, they show the range of leadership, operations, media and performance roles inside an NFL franchise.

The series reflects the team’s message that it takes everyone to succeed.

The series is especially useful because it features leaders as well as specialists. Hearing a chief operating officer explain the business side of a franchise is rare in team-made content.

All of Us belongs on The Shelf because it shows senior and specialist roles that students rarely hear about. Learning what a COO or director of operations does helps students understand team leadership and structure.

The media and nutrition episodes show other career paths within the same organization.
