Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. has been a steadfast leader through the team’s quarterback turbulence.
Despite the Colts’ ongoing QB competition, Pittman remains supportive of Anthony Richardson, the young quarterback who has faced challenges in his development.
In the 2024 season, Richardson’s performance was inconsistent, leading to a midseason benching in favor of veteran Joe Flacco. Pittman, like many, learned about this change through social media, highlighting a lack of communication within the organization. Despite this, Pittman expressed understanding, stating that Richardson handled the situation with professionalism and a strong work ethic.
Looking ahead, Pittman is optimistic about the future. He believes that Richardson has taken the necessary steps to improve, including working with a new coach to refine his skills. Pittman emphasized the importance of supporting Richardson and acknowledged that both players have areas to improve to enhance their on-field chemistry.
As the Colts approach the 2025 season, the quarterback position remains a focal point. However, with leaders like Pittman advocating for growth and collaboration, there’s hope that the team can find stability and success moving forward.
