Overview

  • Richardson has cut sugary snacks from his diet, shaved off 10 pounds to reach 240, and aims for greater durability.
  • Offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter credits Richardson’s improved footwork with more rhythm and accuracy on quick passes.
  • He has adjusted his daily routine by arriving earlier and spending extra time with coaches to address preparation lapses that led to a midseason benching.
  • Veteran Daniel Jones is competing with Richardson on a one-year, $14 million deal as the Colts keep the starting job open.
  • Indianapolis remains undecided on its Week 1 quarterback as it monitors Richardson’s consistency following a career-high 4% interception rate in 2024.
