Irsay-Gordon told Colts.com Monday<\/a>. \u201cHe still has time to prove it. \u2026 Bring a sense of urgency. And nothing brings a sense of urgency more than competition.\u201d<\/p>\nThe 23-year-old Richardson is entering training camp in a competitive battle with former Giants signal-caller Daniel Jones, who signed a one-year, $14 million deal with Indianapolis for the chance to compete for the starting job.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Richardson has undeniable raw talent, and he has shown flashes of excellence in his first two seasons with the Colts.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But he has also struggled with inconsistency \u2013 he has more career interceptions (13) than touchdowns (11) \u2013 and injuries have been a major concern.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Richardson, the No. 4 pick in the 2023 draft, missed most of his rookie year with an AC joint sprain, and several different injuries impacted his playing time in 2024.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Florida product most recently re-aggravated his AC joint issue during OTAs in early June, which kept him sidelined leading up to training camp, although he is now cleared to play.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jones, 28, was released by the Giants partway through last season before spending the rest of the year with the Vikings.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the 10 games he did start for the Giants in 2024, he threw for 2,070 yards and eight touchdowns with seven interceptions. The Giants went 2-8 in that stretch.<\/p>\n

Colts head coach Shane Steichen praised Jones\u2019 performance during June OTAs, with Richardson injured, saying: \u201cVery pleased with what we got right now. He\u2019s been doing a hell of a job. Really smart football player. Learned the offense very quickly, making really good decisions out there through OTAs.\u201d<\/p>\n
