    So do they just lock Levis in the green room overnight?

    4. Indianapolis Colts
    Anthony Richardson, QB, Florida | Highlights

    Why they picked him: The Colts have been laser focused on the quarterbacks in this draft from the start. They had to solve this lingering problem that has existed since Andrew Luck's sudden retirement in 2019. The Colts struck out with potential solutions in veterans Jacoby Brissett, Philip Rivers, Carson Wentz and Matt Ryan. Richardson represents the biggest draft investment at the position since Luck was drafted in 2012. Schematically, Richardson is a good fit for first-year Colts coach Shane Steichen, who helped maximize a mobile quarterback in Jalen Hurts the past two seasons as Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator.

    Biggest question: How quickly can Richardson develop? Having started 13 games at Florida, Richardson is considered a raw prospect who will need to show more consistency on routine throws. His 53.8% completion rate last season raises lots of questions, but Colts GM Chris Ballard said Thursday the team can develop him in this area. As for whether Richardson will play as a rookie, Ballard was noncommittal. But he didn't rule out a big or small role for the 20-year-old prospect. -- Stephen Holder

    Those shots of Levis in the green room were painful. Girlfriend looks like a first rounder though.

    From what I saw around him (except for mom for obvious reasons), is that a bad thing?

    Yeah...I stopped feeling sorry for Levis when I noticed there was a parade of good looking women hanging around him.

    But like Billie Holliday said "when the money's gone and all the spending ends, they won't come around any more"...lol

    I'm no lip reader but I think in the first one she was asking the difference between 1st round money and 2nd round money.

    Just watched AR's introductory interview. I missed that he has Vernell Brown managing him. Vernell is such a great example of a player who made himself a Gator legend through hard work and dedication.
