Indianapolis Colts’ coach Shane Steichen is a smart man. Colts’ quarterback Anthony Richardson is a confident man. Steichen was very smart to build the confidence of Richardson in week one by providing him with short passing attempts. If Richardson’s confidence continues to grow, the rest of the league will be put on notice.
The big knock on Richardson coming out of college was his completion percentage; more specifically, his poor percentage on short routes. Week 1 against the Jacksonville Jaguars did a lot to quell those doubts.
