Chosen with the fourth choice of the last draft, Anthony Richardson will have the opportunity to show his talent from the first week of competition as an incumbent quarterback. It was the franchise that announced the news in a message on X.
After a difficult first pre-season game, Richardson will therefore continue his apprenticeship in a team coached by Shane Steichen, former offensive coordinator of the Eagles. Given Anthony Richardson’s “double threat” profile, it is likely that Steichen is trying to duplicate the Eagles’ offensive scheme for his new nugget.
Former Florida starting quarterback, Richardson is still a raw profile, he who only started for one season. Athletically above average, he will need to improve in passing in the NFL. He should have the luxury of patience, with the Colts not aiming to immediately compete in the playoffs in a formidable AFC.
