Colts HC Shane Steichen was impressed with QB Anthony Richardson during his rookie season, but he acknowledged Richardson has to get better at protecting himself to have a long career in the league.
“It’s just being smart on when to get down,” Steichen says, via SI.com’s Albert Breer. “There’s a happy medium. There’s a time and a place, where it’s fourth down and you gotta have it and the game’s on the line, where you gotta go get it. But if it’s first-and-10 — we had this conversation today — and you scramble, and you can make it second-and-4 and take a big hit, or make it second-and-6 and get down, hey, let’s make it second-and-6.”
Veteran WR Jarvis Landry tried out at the Jaguars’ rookie minicamp and had high praise for his fellow LSU alum first-round WR Brian Thomas Jr.
“Elite. Elite,” Landry said, via Demetrius Harvey of the Florida Times-Union. “So, just watching him out here and seeing it first hand in person, I’ve seen it on TV a couple times, but seeing it firsthand, he’s elite.”
