Colts GM Chris Ballard's Plan to Keep Anthony Richardson from Becoming a Superstar Elsewhere.
TL;DR Summary
Indianapolis Colts' General Manager Chris Ballard didn't want to risk seeing Florida quarterback Anthony Richardson become a superstar for another team, so he drafted him at No. 4 in the 2023 NFL draft. Ballard said he would rather take the risk of Richardson failing with the Colts than passing on him and seeing him become a star elsewhere. The Colts believe they have a game-changing, franchise quarterback in Richardson and were willing to take the chance that it won't work out for them and for Richardson.
