INDIANAPOLIS -- The Indianapolis Colts have said they aren't committing to a specific role for fourth overall draft pick Anthony Richardson in 2023. But the more you listen, the more apparent it becomes Richardson is likely to see the field sooner than later.
Asked about the likelihood of Richardson playing early in the season, perhaps from Week 1, owner Jim Irsay offered a direct answer.
"I think it's important," Irsay said. "You get better by playing. I mean practice and preseason games and watching in a quarterback room, that's great. But, man, I'll tell you, he'd get better by playing and it's something that it is really important.
