INDIANAPOLIS – Veteran cornerback Kenny Moore II walked into the Indianapolis Colts’ training facility on a recent morning, and what he saw immediately resonated.
There was rookie quarterback Anthony Richardson, poring over his meticulous meeting notes as he prepared for the day of work ahead. Richardson, at 6-foot-4 and 232 pounds, is renowned for his imposing size and unique physical abilities. But it was this quiet moment, far from the football field, that left a distinct impression with Moore.
“He wants it,” Moore said. “And I think as a teammate, if you see another teammate who wants it -- he wants to work hard and he wants to be consistent and he does it each day -- you give him all the respect.
