After being the unquestioned Indianapolis Colts' starting quarterback last offseason, this year, Anthony Richardson is going to have to earn that role in what will be an "open competition," as Chris Ballard put it, with free agent signee Daniel Jones.
When Richardson left Indianapolis after the 2024 season had ended, he said that he was ready for any potential competition that may come his way. Now, with that completion having arrived in the form of Jones, and the Colts back at the team facility for voluntary offseason programs, Richardson remains ready to embrace the upcoming battle for the Colts' starting quarterback role, Paul Bretl of Colts Wire reports.
"Competition, that brings the best out of you and that's just how life works," Richardson said via ESPN. "You've got to compete and just get better because somebody else to the right, left or even in front of you is trying to outwork you and be better than you. So, competition, I love it."
