Overview: Former UNLV quarterback
Shane Steichen did yeoman’s work
guiding the Colts to a 9-8 record in his
rookie year as coach after losing rookie
quarterback Anthony Richardson to
a season-ending shoulder injury after
only four games. Richardson is healthy
and has good weapons in running back
Jonathan Taylor and wideout Michael
Pittman Jr. Rookie defensive end Laiatu
Latu should make an immediate impact
on a defense that gave up an AFC-worst
415 points last season.
