The Indianapolis Colts might finally be cured of their Andrew Luck hangover.
When Luck retired, the Colts started on a path of acquiring second-chance veterans at the end of their careers, hoping to get something out of them and then move on to the next one. The bottom fell out last season with Matt Ryan struggling badly, and the Colts found themselves with the No. 4 pick. It was time to finally fix the quarterback position.Anthony Richardson's range of outcomes is as wide as pretty much any quarterback ... maybe ever.
The moment Richardson was drafted, he became arguably the NFL's most physically impressive quarterback. He had perhaps the best combine workout a quarterback has ever had. He ran a 4.43 40-yard dash at 6-foot-4, 244 pounds. He setwith a 40 1/2-inch vertical jump and tied the combine record with a 10-foot-9 broad jump. He has an elite arm and rushed for 1,116 yards and 12 touchdowns on 161 attempts in college. Physically, there are no questions about Richardson.
"I think the one thing we’re seeing in the league now is, guys, you can work on them and them more accurate," Ballard said."Footwork, fundamentals, and there's certain things I think you can do. I think you’ve seen guys jump in this league. I think you'll see him jump." Richardson is the rare top-five pick at quarterback who should sit a full season. The test for the Colts will be how long they can wait before making him the starter.
