Indianapolis Colts Not Planning To Stop Anthony Richardson From RushingThe Ball
Even with Colts’ quarterback Anthony Richardson coming off a season-ending shoulder injury during his rookie year, his ability as a ball carrier will reportedly not stop as we get closer to the 2024 season.
Head coach Shane Steichen made that clear while invoking the name of Stephen Curry in his response to Richardson rushing the ball.
“People ask this, too,” said Shane Steichen after Thursday’s practice, per Indystar.com. ‘Hey, are you gonna limit the run game?’ And I kind of think like, ‘Shoot, are you gonna limit Steph Curry from shooting 3-pointers?’ Well, that’s one of Anthony’s strengths. We’re not gonna get away from that–that’s what he does well.”
In addition to Richardson sustaining the shoulder injury, he was also forced to leave the Colts’ Week 2 matchup against Houston early with a concussion.
His playing style has already shown that it could lead to Injuries.
