Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson explained his success during the 11-on-11 sessions against the Arizona Cardinals in joint practice.
He was wrapping up his first NFL training camp and was already named the starting quarterback. The quarterback was working to master the Colts' offense as quickly as he could while adjusting to the speed of the NFL game. It was a whirlwind for the No.4 pick in the 2023 NFL Draft.
"You’ve got to have the next-play mentality," Richardson remarked. "We kind of already knew it was going to be a little different for us before practice even started when it was raining. So, I kind of expected some things like that to happen, but it's all part of the game. I’ve just got to adjust and keep it going.”
While the second 11-on-11 session focused heavily on the run game, Richardson was able to shine once more in the final two-minute drill of the day. He began with a completion tofor a first down. Then Richardson uncorked a bomb, perfectly placing the ball 50 yards down the middle of the field into the hands of
"I guess I could say is a little bit more realistic," Richardson explained. "I’ve got guys trying to tackle me in the pocket. I’ve got backers that have got to respect the run from time to time. So, I guess just having realistic reps that makes me feel a little better. But I'm still working as a passer, get better on seven-on-seven.”
