Colts to Introduce Open QB Competition for Anthony Richardson in 2025

Indianapolis GM Chris Ballard announces plans to acquire a quarterback to challenge Richardson after two inconsistent seasons.

Colts GM Chris Ballard confirmed at the NFL Scouting Combine that the team will bring in another quarterback to compete with Anthony Richardson for the starting role in 2025.
Richardson, the fourth overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, has struggled with injuries and performance, completing a league-low 47.7% of passes in 2024.
Ballard emphasized that adding competition is intended to accelerate Richardson's growth and improve team performance overall.
The Colts are exploring all options, including free agency, trades, and the draft, to find a suitable quarterback to create meaningful competition.
Despite the challenges, Richardson has shown flashes of potential, particularly as a rusher, and has the opportunity for a full offseason of training to address his inconsistencies.
