No person can accuse Indianapolis Colts proprietor Jim Irsay of being boring.
Indianapolis chosen Florida quarterback Anthony Richardson with the No. 4 total decide of the NFL draft on Thursday and may have the fourth choice in Friday’s second spherical. Kentucky quarterback Will Levis is surprisingly nonetheless on the board, which is able to put groups in want of a signal-caller beneath the highlight.
The Colts are now not a type of groups, however that did not cease Irsay from asking followers if they need to take Levis anyway:
The Joe Montana and Steve Younger comparability is something however an apples-to-apples one. Montana was coming into his ninth season with the San Francisco 49ers in 1987 once they added Younger as a possible successor to the Corridor of Famer.
Whereas there was one thing of an ungainly overlap, very like Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers with the Inexperienced Bay Packers, it was removed from the identical factor as drafting two rookies within the first two rounds of the identical 12 months and having them compete, particularly when there are different areas of want on a roster that simply completed with a 4-12-1 file.
Richardson and Levis have been two of essentially the most high-risk, high-reward quarterbacks accessible coming into the draft, however no person envisioned any kind of situation the place they ended up on the identical crew.
They usually certainly will not, however Irsay remains to be tweeting about it within the hours forward of the draft.
