The fallout -- Richardson's injuries, brief benching in 2024, and Jekyll-and-Hyde play on the field -- resulted in the Colts conjuring a quarterback competition this summer, as Richardson and free-agent addition Daniel Jones go toe to toe for the right to be the Colts' quarterback. It's got Ballard viewing in hindsight.

Shane Steichen offered some high praise for Colts' QB Anthony Richardson following the team's latest training camp practice.

The Colts brought in Daniel Jones this offseason as competition for the starting QB role, and it sounds in the early going like the two passers are right alongside each other in the battle. Richardson has made one amusing change that he hopes helps his cause: He gave up Skittles.
