Following Manning's footprints Tom Arth also
started his career as a quarterback player for the Indianapolis Colts.
For Manning's new contract the team had to emancipate 7 players in which
Arth was the third preference. At that time Tom was a second year player
who was on the Colts reserved/non-football injury list. He uprooted Nate
Hybl, a player of Cleveland Browns of Europe, when they were the part of
Scottish Claymores of NFL Europe. He quarterbacked the Claymores to one
victory out of seven. A hiatus came in his career when he suffered from
a dislocated shoulder and mutilated upper mouth in his senior season at
John Carroll. NFL Europe gave him every possible shot to restore himself
as NFL prospect. But, he was signed by Indianapolis and was transferred
to NFL Europe to recover his game and attempt for a roster spot to be
held during the spring season. He participated in the game but didn't
play which was difficult for him to reconcile. The veteran coaches also
hold the view that Arth has the mechanism to play well in the NFL. He is
capable of making the plays a happening sport to enjoy since he has a
mighty arm to throw the ball with his full vigor.
