Anthony Richardson Being Named Colts Starting QB Brought Out Every Type of Reaction

Indianapolis named the rookie QB1 and the reactions didn’t disappoint.

The (very early) legend of Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson has escalated faster than many fans and analysts expected it to. The No. 4 pick in the 2023 NFL draft was named the team’s starter for Week 1 of the upcoming season by coach Shane Steichen on Tuesday.

Richardson was viewed by many as more of a raw talent with tremendous upside, but it seems he’s impressed on a high level through training camp and early preseason action. Now, the hopeful future face of the Colts franchise will get his opportunity to hit the ground running at the NFL level.

After the news came out that Richardson would be the QB1, fans had all kinds of reactions, and they poured in quickly.

However, not everyone was a major believer in Richardson or buying into the hype of him being named QB1.
