Indianapolis Colts Rookie Anthony Richardson Worth No.5 Pick
The 2023 NFL season is almost here and fans are getting a glimpse of some of the top rookies during training camps and preseason games.
While some fans thought the Colts’ reached for their new franchise quarterback, fans are finally seeing why Richardson was such a coveted prospect. Not only does he appear to be worthy of his top 5 status but he checks all of the boxes of a potential franchise-altering QB.
At the 2023 NFL Combine, Richardson stood out smashing every quarterback metric and showing he has a high ceiling.
While some critics are quick to point out flaws in his mechanics, he’s shown a lot of promise under center. In fact, Richardson has already been named the Week 1 starter over Sam Ehlinger and Gardner Minshew.
Despite throwing an interception in his first preseason game, Richardson looked good on the field, completing 7-of-12 passes for 67 yards and rushing for another 7 yards.
Warren Moon Supports Richardson As Starting Quarterback
Shortly after his preseason debut, Richardson was named the starting quarterback for the Colts. While the rookie was in shock he won the starting job, Hall of Famer Warren Moon wasn’t.
As the only black quarterback in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, Moon has been keeping tabs on Richardson’s performance. Needless to say, Moon believes that the Colts made the right call. As the Colts move forward, Richardson will be the foundation of the franchise, and getting him on the field to learn will be integral to the team’s long-term success.
