2.5-Sack DE Turned 6th-Round Colts LB with Championship Pedigree
Caden Curry is a high-intensity, championship-winning defensive end from Ohio State who transitioned to linebacker for the Indianapolis Colts after being drafted in the 6th round (No. 214) of the 2026 NFL Draft. In his standout 2024 college season, he finished with 2.5 sacks and 22 total tackles, but his career peak came earlier with a team-high 11 sacks and 16.5 tackles for loss, showcasing elite pass-rush explosiveness and run-stopping tenacity. Curry’s differentiator is his relentless intensity and versatility; he dominated Rutgers in the 2024 season finale with a forced fumble, three QB pressures, and a career-best PFF score of 92.7. While his 2024 stats were modest due to depth, his physical profile (6'3", 260 lbs) and proven ability to generate pressure (38 total pressures, 10 career sacks) make him a high-upside fit for teams needing a versatile, hard-nosed defender who thrives in big moments.
