Colts' Richardson Vows to Improve After Tough Sophomore Season
29 Jul
Summary
- Richardson completed just 47.7% of passes, threw 12 INTs in 2022
- Spent offseason working on mechanics, footwork to improve accuracy
- Competing with Daniel Jones for Colts' starting QB job in 2023
In the present, Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson is determined to improve after a difficult 2022 season. Last year, Richardson completed just 47.7% of his passes and threw 12 interceptions, the worst numbers in the league. However, the 2023 first-round pick is not dwelling on the past.
Over the offseason, Richardson worked extensively with his longtime trainer, Dr. Tom Gormely, to refine his mechanics and footwork. The focus was on ensuring Richardson maintains a proper base when delivering the ball, preventing him from sailing passes. Richardson says he can already feel a difference in his control and accuracy.
Additionally, Richardson has spent more time studying the Colts' offense, aiming to "master" the system. He wants to reach a point where he can teach the plays to his teammates, showcasing his command of the playbook.
With the 2023 season approaching, Richardson is locked in a competition with veteran Daniel Jones for the Colts' starting quarterback job. The team signed Jones to a one-year, $14 million deal this offseason, providing Richardson with his first legitimate competition. However, Richardson is focused on controlling what he can control, putting himself in the best position to win the job through his hard work and dedication this offseason.
