What You Need To Know
1) Without a doubt the biggest draw of training camp will be the battle between Anthony Richardson and newcomer Daniel Jones for the starting reins. Richardson is the incumbent, though he has struggled in two years at the helm and was temporarily benched last season. There's also the question of the health of his shoulder, which took him out of games last season and flared up earlier this offseason. He and the coaches have claimed it won't be a problem in camp, but seeing is believing. Seeking redemption after being released by the Giants, will Jones be able to seize the opportunity and earn the starting role instead with a strong training camp performance? All eyes will be on the position.
2) Whether it's Richardson or Jones under center, either would benefit from having a strong offensive line in front of them, making the turnover in the trenches something to monitor this summer. The Colts tied for seventh in the league in sacks allowed last year (32) and lost two key starters in free agency in guard Will Fries and center Ryan Kelly. They didn't add any linemen in free agency and drafted just fourth-round pick Jalen Travis, though Indy is also set to welcome back Braden Smith, who missed the final five games of last season for personal reasons. Camp will provide an adjustment period for the players left on the line to build chemistry ahead of the season to try to build on last year's performance.
3) After finishing 24th in defense last season, the Colts made a change at coordinator, bringing in Lou Anarumo to inject some life into the unit, and added a couple stars in free agency. But the starting pass rushing group is set to look very similar to last season's unit that recorded just 36 sacks, tied for 25th. Indy will need improvement from that effort to uplift the defense as a whole, with second-year defensive end Laiatu Latu especially feeling the pressure. Last year's first defensive player off the draft board, Latu had just four sacks as a rookie, and the Colts will be looking for more from him after his first full offseason as a pro, with camp providing a sneak peak at that progress.
