The Indianapolis Colts are one of the more intriguing NFL teams at the start of the league’s OTA period.
They had a record of 9-8 last season and came to within a dropped pass of making the playoffs despite being without rookie quarterback Anthony Richardson for the majority of the season due to an AC joint sprain.
Before the injury, the Colts went 2-2 with him starting.
The former Florida Gator had 7 total touchdowns with just 2 turnovers before going down.
Now seemingly healthy entering 2024, Richardson appears to be even bigger.
He has put on more weight and more muscle, per MLFootball.

This is great news for Colts fans, who had high aspirations entering last season.
Now, they have a healthy and bigger Richardson with some insurance behind him in veteran Joe Flacco, who signed with the team earlier this offseason.
With the quarterback position locked up, the Colts have an opportunity to make a real run with their roster in 2024.
Indy hasn’t won a playoff game since 2018 and hasn’t won the division since 2014.
Perhaps it is the start of a new era under head coach Shane Steichen.
With Richardson now healthy, along with All-Pro running back Jonathan Taylor, 1,000-yard receiver Michael Pittman, and a stout defense, the Colts could be due for a breakout season.
They play a third-place schedule and will be one of the more exciting teams to watch.
Seeing that Richardson appears to be healthier and much stronger now should give Colts fans some really high hopes
The Colts are in good hands with the young talent that they have.
That is for sure.
