  "account": "WESTFIELD – Colts head coach Shane Steichen praised rookie defensive lineman Caden Curry during an otherwise routine discussion about his defense's development in Year 4. The shoutout came after Curry's standout performance in the team's preseason opener against the Patriots, where he led the team in total tackles (six) and tackles for loss (two), while also recording two batted passes and a sack. Curry, a former Center Grove football standout who won two IHSAA 6A state titles in 2020-21, was selected by the Colts in the sixth round of the 2023 NFL Draft. His defensive abilities and instincts have impressed Steichen, who sees Curry as a player who will thrive in the league. Curry, who grew up just a few miles from Lucas Oil Stadium, watched his hometown Colts play for years and proudly donned his team's royal blue jersey during his first NFL game at the very stadium where he cheered for his favorite team all his life. The Colts are set to host the Falcons in their second preseason game, and Curry expects a crowd of 50 or more friends and family members to cheer him on – a special moment for the young defensive lineman.",
