Colts' Anthony Richardson Flashed 'Next-Level Stuff,' Split QB1 Reps at OTAs

The Indianapolis Colts aren't wasting much time getting rookie quarterback Anthony Richardson acclimated with the starting unit.

Head coach Shane Steichen told reporters Thursday that the 2023 first-round pick split first-team reps with Gardner Minshew at OTAs.

"Anthony's getting some reps with the 1's, Gardner's getting some reps with the 1's, and we'll see how it plays out," he said.

Steichen added that Richardson "made some big plays today" and did "some next-level stuff."

Leading up to the draft, many were of the opinion that the former Florida star would need a year of seasoning, or at least a few months on the bench, before he was ready to run an NFL offense.
