Shrader’s 60-Yard Kick Proves His Comeback | Indianapolis Colts News

Spencer Shrader just blew the doors off in the Colts’ preseason opener, nailing a 60-yard field goal—his second of the preseason and his longest kick yet. Coming back from a torn ACL and MCL that sidelined him for eight months, Shrader’s been flawless on every attempt, none shorter than 46 yards. Head coach Shane Steichen can’t stop raving about his comeback, especially after battling veteran Blake Grupe, who holds the franchise record for longest field goal. Shrader started camp shaky, missing kicks that hit hard mentally, but a pivotal moment in practice—when he struck the ball perfectly despite a crosswind—seemed to unlock his confidence. Now, with roster cuts looming, the Colts face an agonizing decision: choose between two elite kickers, both hungry for the job and primed for NFL success.
