Richardson Named Colts QB2, Expresses Gratitude

Anthony Richardson has been named the Indianapolis Colts' backup quarterback, expressing gratitude for the team's belief in him.

Anthony Richardson was officially named the Colts' No. 2 quarterback after beating out Riley Leonard in the competition to back up Daniel Jones. The fourth overall pick from the 2023 draft considers it an honor that coach Shane Steichen believes he's the right man for the job.

"I'm just thankful they believe in me enough to promote me to QB2," Richardson told reporters. In his fourth and final season of his rookie contract, Richardson has started just 15 games with a 50.6% completion rate, 11 touchdowns, and 13 interceptions. While not meeting the expectations of his draft position, he's focusing on the positive of being second string rather than third. liveiplscore.homes
