Early life and college

Lopienski was born on June 12, 1979, in Parkersburg, West Virginia. He played high school football at Walsh Jesuit High School in Ohio, and college football at Notre Dame.

Professional career

2003 season

Lopienski appeared in the last four games of the 2003 regular season for the Colts. On January 11, 2004, in a 38-31 divisional round victory over the Kansas City Chiefs in the 2003–04 NFL playoffs, he caught a 2-yard touchdown pass from Peyton Manning in the second quarter.[2] Ironically, that touchdown pass would go on to be the only time Lopienski ever touched the ball during an NFL regular season or playoff game.[3] He also played the following week in the AFC Championship Game, where the Colts lost to the New England Patriots by a score of 24–14.
