Indianapolis Colts linebacker Zaire Franklin has reached new heights in his career, celebrating his first Pro Bowl selection and All-Pro nod after leading the NFL in tackles with 173. Franklin's impressive season isn't just about numbers; he turned his tackles into a philanthropic effort, partnering with Coca-Cola Consolidated to donate $16,000 to the Midwest Foodbank of Indiana, following his pledge of $44 for each tackle made.
Franklin's announcement on X highlighted the success of his 'Tackling Hunger' campaign, aimed at combating food insecurity. The linebacker, who ranks among the top in Colts franchise history for tackles, further solidified his legacy by achieving career highs across several defensive metrics this season, including sacks and forced fumbles.
