Jake Curhan

Jake Curhan (born February 9, 1998) is an American professional football offensive tackle for the Carolina Panthers of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the California Golden Bears, and was a two-time Pac-12 honorable mention. He was signed by the Seattle Seahawks as an undrafted free agent following the 2021 NFL draft, debuted in the NFL that season, and started five games at right tackle while also playing in 10 other games as a rookie.

Early life Curhan was born in Larkspur, California, about 16 miles north of San Francisco, and is Jewish. His father, Greg Curhan, had attended Dartmouth College, and his mother, Randi Curhan, had attended the University of Pennsylvania. He grew up in Corte Madera, in Marin County, California, with his parents and two older brothers. Every summer he went to a Jewish summer camp on the east coast of the United States. He lives in Larkspur.

Curhan attended Redwood High School (2016) in Larkspur. He started on the offensive line for three seasons, from 2013 to 15, even though 2013 was his first time playing the sport. Following a game against Ole Miss, he was named the team's player of the week. Rather than play an additional season, Curhan declared for the NFL draft.

The website Walter Football ranked Curhan as the No. 16 offensive tackle in the draft, described him as a "steady pass protector and quality run blocker," and projected him as being picked in the third to fifth round. He was not selected in the 2021 NFL draft on April 29 to May 1, 2021. After impressing the team in back-to-back preseason starts, with coach Pete Carroll noting that he gave up only one pressure on “27 or 28″ pass attempts playing right tackle during the preseason, he was given a spot with the team on the final 53-man roster on August 31, 2021.

He made his NFL debut in week one against the Indianapolis Colts on September 12, 2021, appearing on four snaps in the 28–16 win. He made his first start on December 12, at right tackle. He was promoted to the active roster on December 30.
