With Daniel Jones as the starting quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts, a certain key playmaker will benefit greatly.

Daniel Jones is an NFL starter once again. Jones won the Indianapolis Colts ’ quarterback job over Anthony Richardson, head coach Shane Steichen announced Tuesday. “He’s our starting quarterback for the season,” Steichen said. “I don’t want to have a quick leash on that. I feel confident in his abilities.”

For the first time in his NFL career, Richardson faced true competition for the starting job in training camp. Richardson was named Indianapolis' starting quarterback following his first preseason game as a rookie back in 2023, but winning the starting job heading into Year 3 of his career wasn't a sure thing.
