How Colts coach Shane Steichen plans to conduct QB competition between Richardson, Jones
- Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen announced that Anthony Richardson and Daniel Jones will compete for the starting quarterback position, beginning with offseason workouts on April 21 in Indianapolis.
- Anthony Richardson's inconsistency and injury history over his first two seasons prompted the Colts to seek competition at the quarterback position, leading to the signing of veteran Daniel Jones.
- The quarterback competition will involve splitting first-team practice repetitions equally between Richardson, the fourth overall pick in 2023, and Jones, the sixth overall pick in 2019, throughout the offseason and into training camp.
- Coach Steichen stated that the most consistent and productive quarterback will be named the starter, while General Manager Chris Ballard emphasized that there is no set timeline for making the decision and envisions a 50/50 practice split.
- The outcome of the competition will determine who leads the Colts' offense, with the team seeking stability at the quarterback position after Richardson's tumultuous start and Jones aiming to revitalize his career after a mixed tenure with the New York Giants and a brief stint with the Minnesota Vikings.
