With Colts head coach Shane Steichen’s decision to name Daniel Jones the team’s starting quarterback in 2025 over Anthony Richardson Sr. comes reactions from around the locker room. Even with Richardson having a two-year headstart over Jones to learn the offense, Jones has quickly mastered the system, impressing some of his pass catchers.

Earlier this offseason, Colts general manager Chris Ballard said the franchise "knew it would be a roller coaster" after drafting Richardson, given his lack of career starts at Florida. That thrill ride continues to go from hill to hill as the Colts approach the start of the 2025 season.
