Indianapolis Colts LB Zaire Franklin has yet to record an episode of the Trenches this offseason, which is an observation that may be music to the ears of many Colts fans. With that said, I feel there’s an interesting discussion to be had here about the dynamic between NFL players and NFL fans, or in this case, Zaire Franklin and Colts fans. Let’s talk about it!
