The haven't officially named their Week 1 starting quarterback, but it's only a matter of time before the organization hands over the keys to No. 4 overall pick . The rookie Chuma Edoga Jersey quarterback was billed during the pre-draft proce s as a prospect with tremendous upside, but may be best served as someone who needs to sit for a period of time before being thrust into action. However, it does appear that he will see the field early in 2023 judging by Jim Irsay's a se sment of the situation.The Colts owner told the on Monday that he anticipates some early bumps for NFL New York Jets Jersey Richardson as he makes his way into the , but getting the in-game experience is the best way for him to set up a foundation for a strong career."For Anthony Richardson, it's going to be tough. We know that," Irsay told McAfee. "But he has to play to get better. I mean, there's no question. Gardner Minshew could come out and obviously play better early on just being a veteran, but we have to get Anthony on the field. That's Shane Steichen's call when he decides to do it." IND QB #5 Irsay pointed out that Richardson is a green prospect more than some other top rookies they've brought in previously. For instance, , Indy's No. 1 overall Kevin Mawae Jersey pick in 1998, started 45 games in college.

Richardson, meanwhile, started just 13 games at Florida, so there may be some lean times initially before things turn with their new quarterback.That said, Richardson does appear to be in good hands with Steichen.

As for when Richardson may see the field, that'll likely come into clearer view as training camp unfolds. If he is still raw, it could Thomas Morstead Jersey be Minshew that gets the nod to begin the year. The veteran quarterback signed with Indy this offseason but played under Steichen over the last two years in Philadelphia, so he is well-versed in his system. Even if he does notstart the year, however, we'll simply be counting down the snaps before the Richardson era officially kicks off.
