The colts went to the camp last week and there was little clarity on the quarter situation during the first days. All this changed after about a week of practice, and although there is still a long way to go, one of the men has finally become the clear favorite to start the first week.

His precision in the short and intermediaries of the land was the biggest concerns of Richardson for the offseason, but they have been forces so far in the camp. The word is that the Florida product develops a beautiful synergy with the large receiver Michael Pittman Jr. and the tight winger Tyler Warren.
Colts head coach Shane Steichen, and director general Chris Ballard have repeatedly expressed their belief in Richardson during the offseason, and this belief has borne fruit so far. They said by saying that they hoped that the competition would turn on a fire under the third year quarter and that seems to be exactly what happened.

Richardson turns out to be more confident in the interviews, saying recently: “This organization has sufficiently believed in me to write me … A choice among the first five. So, I don’t think there is more pressure. It’s just that I work hard and proving them and letting them know that they have chosen the right guy. ”
The pressure bursts from the pipes or makes diamonds, and although it is still too early to say it with certainty, Richardson has shone lately.
