Colts locker room has no doubts about Anthony Richardson: ‘We got his back’

New York Times  

INDIANAPOLIS — Anthony Richardson walked out to the podium at the NFL Scouting Combine wearing a skin-tight, long-sleeve red shirt. “I guess I show the team that I’m going to still be me regardless of what happened,” Richardson said, describing how he’s won over the locker room. You can’t do nothing but love a guy like that.” Linebacker Zaire Franklin has repeatedly stated that he’ll “go to war” for Richardson. It’s that he cares.” Colts center Ryan Kelly echoed that perspective, commending Richardson for refusing to “tank it” in the second half at Green Bay. Following that Packers game, perhaps the worst start of Richardson’s career, All-Pro guard Quenton Nelson drove home how his team feels about its quarterback — right after I asked him about having to “pick up” Richardson following his poor performance.
