The Colts picked up DE Caden Curry in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft after he led Ohio State in sacks last season with 11. Indianapolis DL coach Marion Hobby said he has \u201cno idea\u201d how Curry slid so far down the draft.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI have no idea,\u201d Hobby said, via Abby Halpin of the team\u2019s site.<\/a> \u201cBut I\u2019ll tell you, his motor runs.\u201d<\/p>\n Hobby thinks Curry is versatile enough to play on the edge and interior of their defensive line.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s smart enough that you can put him inside or he can stay on the edge,\u201d Hobby said. \u201cYou always want Swiss army knives in your room.\u201d<\/p>\n Colts\u2019 second-year DE Jaylahn Tuimoloau was excited to see the team pick up Curry after playing alongside him at Ohio State.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cI was truly excited to have another Buckeye out with us,’\u201d he said. \u201cI made sure to tell (the staff), \u2018I need him right next to me.\u2019 Now we\u2019re locker buddies.\u201d<\/p>\n Jaguars OC Grant Udinksi received offers from other teams during the coaching carousel this offseason but ultimately chose to return to Jacksonville and continue working with HC Liam Coen.<\/p>\n \u201cI was honored to be able to be considered for those opportunities, and really, it\u2019s a testament to the work that our team and our offense has put in to kind of raise my status and elevate me to even be considered,\u201d Udinski said, via Pro Football Talk<\/a>. \u201cYou go through that process and you learn a lot about what you believe in and what you think and what you really are convicted in because you think about all the different things you\u2019ve come across over your time in coaching or even before coaching, and you kind of have to whittle it down to the things that are most important to you and your core values. So, a lot of what you\u2019re learning is really maybe things that you already knew, but what are your priorities? That kind of becomes the focus of those interviews because it\u2019s such a short period of time where you\u2019re trying to put together all of your plans and thoughts in a clear and concise manner.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of things that I look back on last year\u2019s season and just like we talk about evaluating where we need to improve as an offense, a lot of it will start with me as the coordinator,\u201d Udinski added. \u201cAnd there are really simple things that I think I could have communicated this better, I could have communicated this more clearly. And then there are maybe more complicated things where we built a certain package of plays in a way where I felt like I could have done a better job of putting those plays together. [I] probably have a list of 200 things that, unfortunately, I could improve on. The bright side of that is there\u2019s 200 things that I can improve on. So as a coordinator, for me personally, it\u2019s the same approach that we take with the offense when we say we want to run the ball better, well how does that start with my role? What am I doing? How am I influencing the run game to make sure that that\u2019s actually possible? So just like we sit down and evaluate those things, I\u2019ve got to do the same thing for myself.\u201d<\/p>\n Titans WR Wan\u2019Dale Robinson<\/a> talked about the relationship he\u2019s been building with QB Cam Ward<\/a> after he signed a four-year deal with Tennessee this offseason.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s been great,\u201d Robinson said, via Titans Wire<\/a>. \u201cPretty much every day, we\u2019ve been watching whatever is going on in practice, whatever reads we may have. Being in the slot, we have a lot of different options and can go a lot of different places, and just making sure we\u2019re on the same page with that is a pretty big deal, and I feel like we\u2019re coming along at it pretty well too.\u201d<\/p>\n Robinson was asked and said the two have addressed any miscommunications they\u2019ve had.<\/p>\n \u201cMaybe early on, but pretty much after just about all those types of option routes, I would just go back to him like, \u2018hey, did you like what I did there, is there anything you wanted me to do right here,\u2019 so just getting all the feedback from him, whatever he needs me to do to go out there and get open and be a valuable target for him.\u201c<\/p>\n Looking for the latest NFL Insider News & Rumors?<\/p>\n Be sure to follow NFL Trade Rumors<\/a> on X.com<\/a>\u00a0and FACEBOOK<\/a>\u00a0for breaking NFL News and Rumors for all 32 teams!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Colts picked up DE Caden Curry in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft after he…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":905610,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[2059],"tags":[2163,127,2005,7,20663,2004,392,2381,120586,1642,28898,6,14094],"class_list":["post-905609","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-indianapolis-colts","tag-caden-curry","tag-cam-ward","tag-colts","tag-football","tag-grant-udinski","tag-indianapolis","tag-indianapolis-colts","tag-indianapoliscolts","tag-jaylahn-tuimoloau","tag-liam-coen","tag-marion-hobby","tag-nfl","tag-wandale-robinson"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116665602811453504","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/905609","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=905609"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/905609\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/905610"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=905609"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=905609"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=905609"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
