Daniel Jones just threw his best training camp day yet for the Colts, going a perfect 5-5 in an 11-on-11 team period that absolutely showed off his arm. He dropped a 20-yard dime to Tyler Warren, who was blanketed by Cam Bynum but still went upstairs to snatch it. That’s big-time stuff.

Jones Stacking Up Stellar Reps

This wasn’t just a fluke. Jones had an “excellent final 11 on 11 team period,” according to reports, calling it his “best of camp.” He was 5-5, with long connections to Tyler Warren twice, Ashton Dulin, and Will Mallory, plus a short one to Mo Alie-Cox. The dude’s plant leg looked good, and his accuracy was straight-up surgical. We even saw him hit Laquon Treadwell deep for a huge completion early in that 11-on-11 period. When he’s on fire like that, this offense looks completely different.

Anthony Richardson’s Rollercoaster Camp Continues

Meanwhile, Anthony Richardson’s fourth year in the league is still very much a mixed bag. He flashed some serious potential, connecting with rookie WR Deion Burks on a sweet play-action crosser for a chunk gain with the third team. He even had a beautiful 25-yard sideline throw to Burks later in 11-on-11 and a nice 20-yard in-stride toss to Coleman Owen in 7-on-7 while running with the second team. But man, the consistency just isn’t there yet. He had yet another bobbled snap in shotgun that literally ended a session, not to mention another one earlier. Rookie Riley Leonard even took snaps with the second team on Saturday, showing the QB room is still fluid.

Taylor’s Contract Talk & Rookie Standouts

Off the field, running back Jonathan Taylor is paying attention to the money. After hearing about Bijan Robinson’s extension in Atlanta, Taylor said he’s going to “tap in” with his agent now that “you guys broke the news to me.” That’s a story to watch, for sure. On the field, though, it’s the rookies making noise. Seventh-round running back Seth McGowan continues to impress with his burst and physicality. But the real standout on defense was fourth-round linebacker Bryce Boettcher. The dude was flying around, making plays, and even got home for a sack on Daniel Jones on what would have been a deep completion. This kid is making a statement!

As camp rolls on in Westfield, IN, every rep matters. We’ll be watching to see if Daniel Jones can keep that momentum, if Anthony Richardson can clean up those snaps, and if these rookies can keep flashing potential. The next few practices are gonna be must-see.
