Anthony Richardson in Focus: The Quarterback’s Progression in the Colts
The Colts owner and CEO, Carlie Irsay-Gordon, has expressed her confidence that Anthony Richardson, the 2023 first-round pick, will prove his worth as the quarterback starter in the NFL. Irsay-Gordon seeks to inject “urgency” into the player’s development, selected in the fourth position of the 2023 draft. To do this, Richardson will compete in training camp with Daniel Jones, who was the sixth overall selection in the 2019 draft.Irsay-Gordon, who has held key roles in the Colts’ management, assumed the role of principal owner following the succession plan established by the late Jim Irsay. Daniel Jones, after being released by the Giants, signed a one-year contract for 14 million dollars with the Colts, with the promise of competing for the starting position with Richardson. Both Richardson and Jones have faced challenges due to injuries. Richardson has had limitations in the offseason due to shoulder discomfort, but General Manager Chris Ballard assured that there will be no restrictions for the quarterback in training camp. Accuracy has been a challenge for 23-year-old Richardson, who had a completion percentage of 47.7% last season, the lowest in the league. Jones, 28, played 10 games last season with the Giants and only six in 2023. He has accumulated 73 turnovers in his career, including 26 fumbles and 47 interceptions, with 85 touchdowns, 15 of them rushing.He still has time to prove it. … Bring a sense of urgency. And nothing brings a sense of urgency more than competition.
