Jake Curhan

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. As a junior, he was Honorable Mention Marin County Athletic League on both the offensive and defensive lines. As a senior, he moved to left tackle and played on the defensive line. Prior to his senior season, he earned preseason All-Northern California honors from SportStars, was listed at No. 8 among players to watch by the San Francisco Chronicle, and was named the No. 2 player in the North Bay Area by North Bay Preps. In his senior season he was team captain, and was named Lineman of the Year by the Marin County Athletic League, first-team All-State Medium School by Cal-Hi Sports, and San Francisco All-Metro. ==College career==

In 2016, Curhan was a three-star scholarship recruit to the University of California, Berkeley (B.A. in Business Administration; 2020), spending his first year as a redshirt. 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. On January 30, 2021, Curhan played for the National team in a 27–24 victory over the American squad in the 2021 Senior Bowl. The Pro Football Network reported: "Curhan showed potentially underrated athleticism at 6-foot-6, 323 pounds, and his length also gives him utility in the trenches." He posted a 5.42 40-yard dash at Cal's annual Pro Day on March 18, 2021. ==Professional career==

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. Chicago Bears On March 18, 2024, Curhan signed with the Chicago Bears. He was waived on August 27, and re-signed to the practice squad. Curhan was promoted to the active roster on November 9. Arizona Cardinals On April 3, 2025, Curhan signed a one-year contract with the Arizona Cardinals. He was waived on August 26 as part of final roster cuts and re-signed to the practice squad the next day.
