## Resource

Spencer Shrader edged out Blake Grupe in a brutal kicking competition to earn the Indianapolis Colts’ job, overcoming a tough camp start and an ACL injury with jaw-dropping resilience. Special teams coach Brian Mason, who recruited both at Notre Dame, called Shrader’s grit “unbelievable” and believes he’s poised for his best season yet — especially after nailing five field goals, including two from over 60 yards, while Grupe went just 2-for-4. Telling Grupe he didn’t make the cut was one of Mason’s toughest calls ever — proof this wasn’t just about skill, but heart.
