Zaire Franklin: Colts

[CIL]

While you can compare Zaire and Wax in size, Zaire has shown that in the NFL he plays big, while Wax plays small.

I don't think many saw such a nice career for Zaire, but well done by him.

I don’t think Wax plays small at all. He’s everything you would want out of a linebacker at this level.

So proud of and happy for Zaire. And although Dino's coaching term didn't quite turn out the way we all wanted I will always remember him going to bat for his guy all the way.

What did he say on that idiot McAfee’s podcast that has him in so much hot water with Indy fans?

Doesn't seem like a big deal.

Doesn't seem like a big deal.

I think Indy fans are just upset at what a disaster they’ve been and want to be angry at someone. He basically opted not to throw other players or coaches under the bus and it’s getting framed as being a selfish player. Doesn’t really help that Pat specifically singled him out as a “guy who has never won anything”.

Probably shouldn’t be doing things like going over to fake handshake McAfee’s empty booth though - he should be trying to smooth things over and not antagonizing a guy with a big microphone and the support of most of the Colts fanbase.

Not sure why people pay any attention to a former kicker with a diploma from WV (the NFL doesn't!). But yes, Zaire led the league in total tackles 2024 (173) and was runner up in 2023 (179).
