Colts' Shane Steichen: Daniel Jones has been doing a 'hell of a job'
Our Summary
Daniel Jones is gaining momentum in the competition for the Indianapolis Colts' starting quarterback position due to Anthony Richardson's recurring injuries. Signed in the offseason to challenge Richardson, Jones has been impressing by building strong connections with key players like Michael Pittman and Tyler Warren. Colts coach Shane Steichen praised Jones for his intelligence, quick learning, and leadership. After being released by the New York Giants and spending time with the Minnesota Vikings, Jones signed a one-year, $14 million deal with the Colts, providing him a clear path to vie for the starting role. With Richardson's health issues persisting, Jones's continued focus and performance could secure him the starting position by the start of the season.
