Anthony Richardson focused on helping Colts amid trade speculation

Summary

Anthony Richardson expressed his commitment to the Colts after requesting a trade this offseason. In the wake of assistant General Manager Ed Dodds indicating a preference for three quarterbacks, Richardson stated, "I'm just looking forward to helping the team." During a preseason game against the Falcons, Richardson's performance showed inconsistency as he completed 3-of-9 passes for 24 yards, while Riley Leonard, who started the game, went 7-of-14 for 62 yards. Both players appear to be competing for a backup role behind Daniel Jones as preseason concludes.
