Colts coach Shane Steichen announced Thursday that first-round draft pick Anthony Richardson will get the start in the team’s first preseason game on Saturday over Gardner Minshew.
“My first NFL experience, just trying to get a victory and showcase my talents,” Richardson told reporters Thursday.
There’s been plenty of hype around Richardson ever since his days at Florida, most notably for his absurd athleticism. He stands at 6’4” and weighs 244 pounds and his frame played a big role in his 654 rushing yards and nine touchdowns on the ground for the Gators in 2022. He also threw for 2,549 yards and 17 touchdowns to nine interceptions last year before entering the draft.
