Zaire Franklin: Colts

[JackBauer44]

Really cool. I remember JackBauer44 was very high on him when he was being recruited. It didn't take long for Zaire to impress us all.

Really happy for a great kid.

LOVED him from the day we started recruiting him. I wish he was still here.

We see you Zaire

Good to see someone didn’t get cut, seems like all these threads the updates have been “waived”

Dino was right - Z really is un-cuttable.

 

[tbonezone]

"Uncuttable" per Coach Babers. Good for you Zaire! Just awesome.

Wow quite an honor but not surprising at all if you followed his SU career and read any articles about him and his character. This is his 3rd year also so if he finishes this year, he will be vested in the pension plan.

Zaire is such a great example of a leader.

Great story, great player, even better kid.

Fantastic. Leader from day 1 for sure. Happy for him.

 

[weedsportwarriors]

Absolutely deserved. Total class act from day one.

Impressive man.

Wow, that is amazing!! The Colts-SU connection has been strong over the years.

I wish he could've experienced more team success while at SU. Glad he's been able to stick in the league.

I still can't believe he was a 7th round pick. Seeing success like this is great for him and will only help future SU players going forward.

Him and Ishmael got shafted in that regard.

This is such a great story. What an impressive guy. He is the former team leader you invite back every year to talk with the players about football and life. Good schiiit!!

Really great article about a two-day business seminar he's hosting at a Philly middle school:
