INDIANAPOLIS -- The Indianapolis Colts entered the 2024 season with clarity about who would be under center.

Anthony Richardson, the No. 4 draft pick in 2023 and one of the biggest (6-foot-4, 244 pounds) and fastest (4.43 40-yard dash) quarterbacks the NFL has seen, was the unquestioned starter in Indianapolis. It was welcome news for a team that had not seen a quarterback start consecutive season openers since Andrew Luck in 2015-16.

With Richardson's rookie season mostly lost to injury, Year 2 was expected to be about solidifying his status as a long-term franchise quarterback.
