Leonard named Colts QB3; needs development time but has long-term QB2 appeal.

Riley Leonard will open the season as the Colts' QB3 after losing a competitive offseason battle with Anthony Richardson for the backup role. Leonard and Richardson split second- and third-team reps throughout training camp and each received extended preseason playing time. The source notes Leonard looked like a quarterback who needs time during the preseason, showing flashes during the Texans regular season game last season but requiring developmental time. Keeping him as QB3 allows the Colts to develop him without rushing the process, and he still looks like a strong option for the long-term QB2.
