The Colts’ preseason is over as the team is getting set to start a new era with Anthony Richardson hopefully leading them to the promised land.
Richardson is a very well-known name and face, but he still feels good enough to go out in public and do regular people things. That ultimately led him to a local store where he went grocery shopping.
One fan began recording him as Richardson could be seen speaking to another guy as he held a frozen food item. The guy holding the camera then flips his camera and states, “Holy (s), it’s Peyton Manning.”
Richardson is fresh off his game against the Philadelphia Eagles where he was 6 of 17 passing for 78 yards. That came in a half of play against Eagles backups.
Richardson, who was selected No. 4 overall out of the University of Florida in April’s draft by the Indianapolis Colts, is being called on to be the man in Indy as the team continues to try and find their franchise starter since Andrew Luck retired.
Indy is desperate for a starting quarterback and will throw Richardson, who only started 13 games as a one-year starter at Florida, to the Wolves.

Based on what Richardson showed in the preseason, NFL defenses might eat him up as he completed just 13-of-29 passes (44.8%) for 145 yards with zero touchdowns and an interception in three games.
He was able to add 45 yards on seven rushing attempts, but no team wants to see their QB taking punishments for multiple hits while running out of the pocket.
Hopefully, he can channel some Peyton Manning and have a breakout career after a tumultuous rookie year.
