## Resource

Riley Leonard, drafted as a long-term project for the Colts, got an unexpected starting role after Daniel Jones went down with a torn Achilles—and then Leonard himself got injured in the same game. Forced to bring in Philip Rivers temporarily, Leonard still managed to shine in the season finale against Houston, throwing for over 60% completion and three touchdowns. Now, with trade rumors swirling around Anthony Richardson, Leonard is poised to lock down the backup QB spot, earning high praise from head coach Shane Steichen for his growing command of the offense and ability to translate playbook knowledge into game performance. Training camp will be where the real competition heats up. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
