Linebacker Zaire Franklin is poised for a breakout year with the Indianapolis Colts following a career-best 2024 season where he led the NFL with 173 tackles, earned a Pro Bowl selection, and was named a second-team All-Pro. Despite his impressive stats, Franklin's missed tackle rate and coverage metrics suggest areas for improvement. However, the Colts' new defensive scheme under Lou Anarumo is expected to enhance Franklin's performance, allowing him to play closer to the line of scrimmage and create more pressures on opposing quarterbacks.
