5 takeaways from Day 8 of Colts’ training camp

This is what we call stacking days. Richardson had his best day of camp working with the second-team offense during Saturday’s practice. He turned right around Sunday to put together his best performance while taking every snap with the starting offense.

During team drills, the rookie’s day included three passing touchdowns and a rushing touchdown. Two of his passing touchdowns came in the red zone while the other was a deep bomb to Alec Pierce for roughly 40 yards.

According to multiple reports, Richardson completed 6-of-8 passes with his touchdowns going to Michael Pittman Jr., Alec Pierce and Kylen Granson.

Here’s a snippet from Jake Arthur of Sports Illustrated’s Horseshoe Huddle on Richardson’s day:

Richardson punctuated his day with the two-minute drill, which was simulated as the offense having 46 seconds remaining on the clock, one timeout, and down by eight points. It only took Richardson three plays to erase the deficit as he picked up a handful of yardage on a scramble, hit Granson on a touchdown from about 15 yards out, and then ran the ball in from a couple of yards out for the two-point conversion.

Seeing Richardson stack days and improve at a consistent rate is extremely encouraging as we head into the preseason.
