“Excellence is not an instance, it’s a habit.”
A motto Colts linebacker and team captain Zaire Franklin lives by. Franklin met with fans Tuesday in the parking lot of Meijer in Westfield to sign hundreds of autographs and take photos with an assembly of supporters.
Franklin currently leads the NFL with 77 tackles, 49 solo tackles, and five games with 10-plus tackles. The Colts seventh-round pick in the 2018 NFL Draft made his mark in his first full-season as a starter and broke the franchise single-season record with 166 tackles in 2022.
