WESTFIELD – Colts head coach Shane Steichen approached the media tent after Tuesday’s hour-long practice and made an opening statement to name Anthony Richardson the starting quarterback for the 2023-24 season.
“After evaluating training camp and the film and all that, I’ve made the decision. Anthony (Richardson) will be the starting quarterback this year for us,” Steichen said. “I like the progress he’s made, excited about his future and his playmaking ability that he brings to this football team.”
At 21-years old, Richardson had no clue he would be called into Steichen’s office for a meeting to be delivered the veritable keys to the Colts franchise.
