. “I don’t want to just be one of those guys like, ‘OK, he was in the league.’ I want my legacy to be remembered forever. I’m working. Just trying to work forever and build championships with this team and this organization.”There will be buzz and excitement when Richardson makes his debut on Sept. 10 in the Colts’ season opener against theat Lucas Oil Stadium, the same venue he lit up in March with the most athletic showing of any quarterback prospect of all time.
He completed 13 of 29 passes for 145 yards and one interception, plus seven carries for 45 yards in two preseason games. But his stats don’t illustrate his otherworldly physical gifts, elusiveness in and out of the pocket and big-play ability, all of which were on display. Steichen has been impressed with Richardson’s progress and the levity he brings to his craft.
“I think it’s just his contagious personality,” Steichen said. “He’s got something special about him that says, ‘I want to be around this guy.’ He’s fun to talk to, he can relate to everybody. I think that’s what makes him special, that’s part of it. Obviously, he’s a very talented player, but when you add that extra piece of the hard work and the character and the preparation part of it — I think that’s when guys have success in this league.
