No one denies the raw talent and ability of former Florida quarterback Anthony Richardson. Heโ€™s one of the most gifted athletes to ever step onto the field as an NFL player.

However, the Colts are discovering in real time that raw athleticism can be as frustrating and unsatisfying as anything else. Heโ€™s played in fewer than half the Coltsโ€™ games since he was drafted in 2023. This season, heโ€™s completing fewer than half his passes.

The idea of what Richardson can do remains tantalizing. Unfortunately, Colts fans are still waiting for the real payoff on the field.ย
