Colts backup quarterback Anthony Richardson Sr. will start the preseason finale against Detroit Lions, a move the source characterizes as a vote of confidence from head coach Shane Steichen and the offensive coaching staff. Richardson Sr. has arguably outplayed 2nd-year challenger Riley Leonard through two preseason games and is currently in the driver's seat for the Colts' QB2 job behind starter Daniel Jones. Despite not being great, Richardson Sr. has demonstrated dynamic ability with his speed, athleticism, and legs; he carries starting experience and is entering his 4th year in Steichen's offense, positioning him as potentially one of the better backups in the league.
