The Indianapolis Colts' kicking competition is heating up as Spencer Shrader and Maddux Trujillo demonstrate their skills during recent training camp practices. Shrader started slow, making only 4 out of 6 attempts last Friday, including misses from over 50 yards. However, he rebounded with a perfect 6-for-6 performance on Monday, showing significant improvement. Trujillo matched his success on Tuesday, also going 6-for-6, indicating a tight contest for the starting job.

The Colts' coaching staff is closely monitoring both kickers, with evaluations based on performances during team drills and joint practices, especially in preseason games, where the pressure will be higher. Special teams coordinator Brian Mason emphasized the importance of these opportunities for both players to showcase their abilities under real-game conditions.
