Former Utah Utes safety Julian Blackmon stole the show during rookie hazing at Indianapolis Colts training camp.

Each Colt rookie had to perform a song at Indianapolis’ team meeting, and Blackmon broke out a smooth rendition of Michael Jackson’s “PYT” (“Pretty Young Thing”).

Blackmon put on one glove as an homage to Jackson and started singing (0:30 into the video). Compared to the other rookie performances, Blackmon was in a league of his own.

Colts were quick to notice the former Utah safety’s vocal talent.

Fans requested the full Blackmon performance of ‘PYT,’ and the Colts’ social media team delivered.
