Zaire Franklin, linebacker for the Indianapolis Colts, showed his support for girls flag football teams from South Bend Riley and Crispus Attucks by coaching and cheering them on at Lucas Oil Stadium. After the Colts preseason game against the Broncos, the girls teams played on the same field. Franklin was animated and involved in the game, celebrating with the South Bend Riley team after their victory. Franklin expressed the importance of giving back to the game of football and how special it is for young athletes to play in an NFL stadium. His coaching counterpart, Anthony Richardson, also emphasized the importance of the experience for the players. The Colts may have lost their first preseason game against the Broncos, but their focus is now on upcoming joint practices with the Arizona Cardinals and their preseason game at Lucas Oil Stadium on Saturday. The opportunity for Franklin to support and mentor young athletes while giving back to the game he loves is something he values greatly. Overall, the event was a positive and memorable experience for all involved.
