The Indianapolis Colts made the fourth selection in the 2023 NFL Draft on Thursday night. With the selection, the Colts selected Florida quarterback Anthony Richardson. Richardson had long been talked about as a top talent. As his athleticism ranked far above any other quarterback in the class. However, his performances on the field were not all that spectacular. Whatever the case may be, the franchise has selected the future of the franchise. Or have they?
Colts owner Jim Irsay has already started the speculation for night 2 of the draft. As the owner seems to be teasing a potential selection of another quarterback with his latest tweet. Irsay is more than likely having fun with his fanbase. However, if the team did select Will Levis with their second-round pick, what would that mean for Richardson? Undoubtedly, the fanbase isn't taking the tweet seriously. However, with Irsasy, anything could be possible when it comes to this team.
Indianapolis Colts Have Early Second-Round Pick
Maybe this is just Irsay's attempt at getting more viewers on night two of the draft. However, the NFL won't have an issue with getting eyes on their product. The league recently sold its streaming rights to YouTube for a massive deal. The sport has become the largest in all of North America. So the draft will have plenty of people watching. However, Irsay's comments will surely bring more intrigue to the next Colts selection. Whatever the case may be, Colts fans may have gotten a little nervous before the start of Friday's action.
Levis waited all night on Thursday to hear his name called in the first round. Unfortunately, that moment never happened for the former Kentucky Wildcats star. However, Levis may not have to wait long to hear his name called on Friday. But hearing the Colts make the selection would cue all the drama needed for night two of the draft. Is Jim Irsay being serious with his recent tweet? Or is this just a lame attempt at getting fans to tune in? Let us know what you think in the comment section.
