NFL Insider: Colts to Lean on Anthony Richardson's Running from Day 1 Even If Not QB1

Expect Anthony Richardson to have a prominent role in the Indianapolis Colts offense even if he isn't named the Week 1 starter.

"Look for the Colts to lean into Richardson's running ability from day one—whether he's the starter or not," ESPN's Stephen Holder wrote Monday.

Holder explained how Richardson has played to type for the most part so far.

"Consistency was always the biggest concern for Richardson coming into the NFL draft," he said. "And that has proved to be a fair assessment throughout spring practices as he works to perfect his mechanics. But what also stands out are the physical gifts Richardson brings.
