The two previous Indianapolis Colts first-round quarterbacks, Peyton Manning and Andrew Luck, had nearly antithetical starts to their careers. Manning famously set the rookie record for interceptions (28) as the Colts went 3-13 in 1998. Luck made a Pro Bowl in his first year as Indy went 11-5 in 2012 and reached the playoffs, where they fell in the Wild Card Round.<\/p>\n

After cycling through veterans since Luck abruptly retired in 2019, Indy finally returned to the draft well this season, selecting Anthony Richardson No. 4 overall. The pick brings hope that the Florida product will end the string of subpar QB play that has plagued the franchise, and they’d return to the mountain Manning once took them.<\/p>\n

“Everybody wants me to come here and win a Super Bowl my first year,” Richardson told Mike Chappell of FOX59 on Monday. “I wish I could, and I hope I can.<\/p>\n

“But sometimes, you’ve got to understand it’s not all about me. (I’m) making sure everybody on this team is involved and everybody is doing their job because I’m not the only one here.”<\/p>\n
