Approximately 36% of respondents indicated they are most interested in the contest for the backup quarterback position. The competition will likely involve Anthony Richardson and Riley Leonard, both of whom have been sharing first-team reps with starter Daniel Jones. The Colts face a critical situation, as Jones continues to recover from a torn Achilles, raising the stakes for the backup role.
