Colts’ Zaire Franklin gets shot at Steelers’ Najee Harris after Week 4 game: ‘Kid is soft’

Indianapolis Colts linebacker Zaire Franklin had a parting shot for Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris after their Week 4 game on Sunday afternoon.

Franklin had nine tackles and Harris was held to 19 rushing yards as Indianapolis held on for the 27-24 victory. Franklin didn’t seem to approve of Harris raising two middle fingers as he walked out of the tunnel and onto the field at Lucas Oil Stadium before their game.

The veteran defender then fired a shot on social media.

“The kid is soft. I can run faster,” Franklin wrote on X, referencing Cordarrelle Patterson who ran for 43 yards on six carries.

When former NFL player Darius Butler responded with crying and laughing emojis, Franklin added, “When I lie, I fly.”
