Even after only appearing in four NFL games last season, there is no doubt about the level of athlete Indianapolis Colts QB Anthony Richardson is. 

And the recent video shared by Richardson's agent, Deiric Jackson, shows the Colts QB's athleticism far exceeds just the football field.  


Seeing your QB throw down a dunk of this nature is awesome, no matter the context. But with many Colts fans worried about the health status of their starting QB ahead of the team's Training Camp in July, I'd say this confirms what GM Chris Ballard shared himself: Richardson will be a "full-go."

I'm sure there are also fans who, while they acknowledge how cool it is that their QB can successfully dunk in such an athletic manner, it also worries them. They watched their favorite team finally make the decision to draft a QB in the first round to replace legend Andrew Luck, who shockingly retired before the 2019 NFL season. Ju t for him to only appear in four games before being placed on the IR with a shoulder injury.

The last Colts fans heard from Richardson he had to sit out the final practice of the Colts 2024 minicamp due to shoulder soreness. And now they see their QB throwing down a dunk and are worried about him hurting himself in the process.  I tress to fans wanting Richardson wrapped in bubble wrap during all activities off the football field to simply breathe in and out. Part of the reason the Colts drafted Richardson was his dynamic athletic ability. Him choosing to dunk in his free time is fine and not something anyone should be worried about. Especially when there's not even a defender in sight in the video provided.
