The Indianapolis Colts took a chance on a raw but ridiculous athlete in former Florida quarterback Anthony Richardson in the first round of the 2023 NFL draft. The film says when Richardson is good, he’s great and when he isn’t, things can get ugly. OTAs are in full swing so let’s see what Twitter is saying about Richardson.
Gardner Minshew is impressed
Anthony Richardson has reportedly been “really impressive” according to Colts QB Gardner Minshew.
Richardson’s ability to “process fast” has reportedly stood out, despite that being one of his concerns heading into the NFL Draft.

High praise from the Mannings
Peyton & Eli Manning on Anthony Richardson:
P: “He can handle the NFL after handling that (the pressure of wearing #15 as a QB in Florida)… he’s not afraid of pressure or expectations. Anthony certainly could use more reps, who couldn’t?”
E: “This is not the finished product”

Working his way to the first team in a hurry.
Update: #Colts rookie QB Anthony Richardson is already splitting 1st-team reps with veteran Gardner Minshew, per coach Shane Steichen.
Richardson just turned 21-years old earlier this week and is making early strides with the team. Wil he end up starting Week 1? we'll see. pic.twitter.com/xUMSb6FBdu
