Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson has been benched twice in his short career, raising questions about his future with the team. Despite having limited experience, Richardson was drafted first-round and started only 13 games at the University of Florida.
Quarterbacks coach Cam Turner expressed support for Richardson, stating that he’s given great effort, but acknowledged the team’s inconsistent performance. “I feel like I’ve tried everything I can do, and I feel like he’s given great effort in that aspect, too,” Turner said.
The Colts expect Richardson to learn and grow throughout the season, with no pressure on him to succeed immediately. General Manager Chris Ballard has reassured fans that this is not a make-or-break season for Richardson, who is only 23 years old. The team wants to develop Richardson’s skills and keep growing as a quarterback, despite his young age.
Turner highlighted Richardson’s growth at the line, including increased presence and next-level thinking. He noted that Richardson has missed several snaps due to injuries but still shows promise, particularly in terms of mental preparation.
