Indianapolis Colts ' GM Chris Ballard offered some high praise for one of the team's Day 3 draft picks.
When speaking with local media members prior to training camp, Ballard was going through positional battles that he'll be watching. When discussing the defensive ends, he took a minute to highlight Curry specifically.
"Curry is a freaking football player, man," Ballard said. "Now, he's got to go do it with the pads on, but that guy's a football player. I think he's going to have a pretty good career."

— Matt Taylor (@MayTayColts) July 28, 2026 The Colts selected Curry in the sixth round with the 214th overall pick out of Ohio State.
Playing behind other future draft picks while at Ohio State, Curry had to wait for his opportunity defensively. That came in 2025, and he took advantage, with Curry seeing a big jump in production as he posted 46 pressures and 12 sacks.
Among defensive ends, he ranked 40th in pass rush win rate and was also one of PFF's highest-graded run defenders at this position group.
Curry will be competing with Micheal Clemons and George Gumbs for rotational snaps at the defensive end position. He could also emerge as a core special teams contributor during his rookie season as well.
