INDIANAPOLIS -- There was a play in Anthony Richardson’s first preseason game few will remember, but it said a lot about what to expect from the Indianapolis Colts rookie quarterback this season.
It was a read-option run, and Richardson decided to keep the football rather than hand off to running back Deon Jackson. As Richardson slipped out of the grasp of Buffalo Bills defensive end Greg Rousseau, he looked to turn the corner and run up the sideline.
That’s when Bills cornerback Kaiir Elam -- a teammate of Richardson’s at the University of Florida -- converged and began to square up to tackle the oncoming quarterback.
