Colts announcing Daniel Jones as Week 1 starter has Indy fans bursting in flames

The Indianapolis Colts recently announced that former Duke Blue Devil Daniel Jones will be the franchise's Week 1 starter for the 2025 season, much to the shock of many fans and analysts around the NFL. Indy drafted Anthony Richardson with the fourth overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, but it looks like the front office has already given up on the project pick after just two seasons.

Jones has now resurrected his career as an NFL starter after being released by the New York Giants, the team that drafted him sixth overall in the 2019 NFL Draft, midway through the 2024 campaign.
