Early Predictions: Colts QB Anthony Richardson To Become NFL Offensive Rookie Of The Year 2023
Predictions are difficult. When new hires and coaches are taken into consideration, they become much more difficult. The Indianapolis Colts, on the other hand, will arrive at Lucas Oil Stadium with fresh enthusiasm thanks to head coach Shane Steichen and rookie quarterback Anthony Richardson.
Early Predictions: Colts QB Anthony Richardson To Become NFL Offensive Rookie Of The Year 2023
It’s interesting to imagine what this new Colts offence may achieve in the upcoming season with a dynamic duo like Steichen and Richardson.
Anthony Richardson, the quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts, will not only win the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2023, but his much-awaited arrival in Indianapolis will also eventually pave the path for the Horseshoe to return to prominence, claims ESPN’s Matt Miller.
Colts GM didn’t want to watch quarterback Anthony Richardson be a ‘superstar somewhere else’https://t.co/LQsFg4QWMB. Colts don't have a way of improving his mental status, it will be a long season ahead. He wasn't a superstar at UF and probably won't be a superstar at the colts

Miller: Anthony Richardson, QB, Indianapolis Colts (No. 4). (Bijan) Robinson is a great selection, but for the sake of variety,l will mention Richardson in a surprise move. He should play early in Shane Steiche’s offence and has the dual-threat ability to rack up huge stats as a passer and runner to get him some hardware after the 2023 season.

Miller: Anthony Richardson and the Colts will be on top of the AFC South. He has immense talent as a passer and runner and his fit in Shane Steichen’s offensive system will reignite football in Indianapolis. Even with Trevor Lawrence in Jacksonville, Indy could take over this division. Richardson’s raw ability is unlike anything we’ve seen in football. So in five years, Richardson will be a top-tier starting QB and the Colts will be Super Bowl contenders.

The dual-threat Richardson may be used in a similar manner by the new Colts head coach Shane Steichen as he did with Jalen Hurts, last year’s NFL MVP contender who broke out with the Philadelphia Eagles while he was the reigning NFC Champions’ offensive coordinator and play-caller.

There is no doubt that Richardson can have an early impact—even as a less experienced rookie—if the Colts use his legs, streamline the offensive playbook around his explosive rushing skills, and rely heavily on workhorse Jonathan Taylor and the ground game.
