Former Indianapolis Colts and University of Notre Dame running back Robert Hughes wrestles a steer Tuesday evening during the 3 Bar J Rodeo show in front of the grandstand at Jay County Fairgrounds. The rodeo included bronco riding, tie-down roping and team roping, along with the antics of the rodeo clown. Before turning to a career in the rodeo, Hughes played for the Indianapolis Colts in 2012 and 2013 before heading for a stint with the Arizona Cardinals. Primarily a fullback, he had eight professional carries for 11 yards while catching 10 passes for 149 yards. He gained 1,392 rushing yards, caught 43 passes and scored 15 touchdowns during his career with the Fighting Irish. (The Commercial Review/Ray Cooney)
