INDIANAPOLIS, IN - Boise Burn center Kyle DeVan has signed a 2-year contract with the Indianapolis Colts, Burn officials confirmed Tuesday.

DeVan left Boise for a tryout Monday, after the Burn's Saturday night loss to Spokane, and was signed Tuesday. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. DeVan spent part of the 2008 season on the Jets practice squad.

Burn coach Brent Winter said early Tuesday, that he wasn't sure when or if DeVan would be signed, but wished him the best.

DeVan becomes the first Burn player to jump to an NFL team. Winter says it's a mixed blessing for Boise because DeVan was so good at center - the second most important position on the field in arena football.

Boise will audition a couple new players to replace DeVan on the roster this week, before the team leaves to face Fresno's Central Valley this Saturday.
