Two years ago, it seemed like the AFC South Division would be one of the weakest divisions in the NFL.
Fast forward to today, and we could be looking at one of the most promising and competitive groups in the league.
While other teams look more ready than others, and the Houston Texans might be on a different tier right now, all four teams have legitimate potential stars at the quarterback position.
With that in mind, NFL analyst Craig Carton claimed that people shouldn’t sleep on the Indianapolis Colts.
Even though he didn’t play much last season, and even with Gardner Minshew behind center, Shane Steichen’s team was much better than people expected, so they should obviously fare better with Richardson there.
Talking on The Carton Show, former NFL player Willie Colon also raved about Richardson, comparing him to a young Cam Newton and stating they have a similar body type.
“Anthony Richardson is Cam Newton-esque.”

Of course, having a player like Newton and with a similar mindset and style of play doesn’t come without risks, as they also put their body on the line a lot.
Richardson missed most of his rookie campaign with a couple of injuries, and that should be a major concern going forward.
Then again, his mobility, agility, and athleticism are what makes him special, so they can’t ask him to shy away from that.
If anything, they should teach him how to avoid contact as opposed to initiating it.
If he stays healthy, he can be very special for a very long time.
