Multiple NFL teams reportedly believe the Indianapolis Colts plan to start rookie quarterback Anthony Richardson in Week 1 of the 2023 NFL regular season.
Appearing Saturday on SportsCenter, ESPN NFL insider Jeremy Fowler said:
"I'm told Indy has gotten to work with Anthony Richardson in a hurry, trying to get that install going because the pleasantries are over. ... They've done their homework. Now they want to get him ready to play because a lot of teams I've talked to believe that he'll be possibly the Week 1 starter."
Richardson was the third quarterback off the board in last week's draft, as the Colts selected the University of Florida product fourth overall behind Alabama's Bryce Young, who went to the Carolina Panthers at No.
