Colts QB Anthony Richardson says there's nothing 'wrong' with play style: 'My shoulder did what it did'

Seven months removed from season-ending shoulder surgery, Anthony Richardson is back on the practice field for the Indianapolis Colts' offseason program.

After half a year of rehab and reflection and a full season in coach Shane Steichen's scheme, the quarterback said Wednesday at organized team activities that he feels like he has a better grasp of the offense and life in the NFL.

"I'm more comfortable with the offense now, now that I have a year under my belt -- not a year of playing, but just being in the meetings every day, just studying all the time," Richardson told reporters. "Coming here early in the morning, meeting with Shane, that's something I take pride in because if I know the offense inside and out like Shane does, then I think we're gonna be unstoppable. I've just got to keep perfecting it and just keep trusting myself and trusting the offense."

Indianapolis is returning most of its top talent from last season, including Jonathan Taylor, Josh Downs, Alec Pierce and Michael Pittman, who received an extension over the spring. The Colts added second-round receiver Adonai Mitchell to the mix in the draft, as well.

The continuity, plus the return of Richardson, is already helping the Colts bounce back from last year's disappointing second-place division finish. Steichen said Wednesday that he's noticed "accelerated vision" from the signal-caller. Taylor told reporters that the second-year QB "lights up" the whole team at practice with his energy.

Richardson, having finally ramped up his throwing, says he's all the way back.

"Now I kind of feel like myself again, throwing 60-plus (yards)," Richardson said. "Hopefully I can keep it loose and keep it going like that."
