The Indianapolis Colts went all-in on Anthony Richardson in the 2023 NFL draft, using the No. 4 pick on the Florida product whose potential was only matched by his inexperience.

Richardson stated that he was tired and "needed a break." The result of this action led the Colts to bench the young passer for longtime veteran Joe Flacco. Flacco did not play well enough, and Richardson was named starter again a mere two games later.
