What everyone's talking about:

FOX Sports predicts the Colts will be worse than Vegas' over/under of 6.5 wins this season. Although sports analysts believe Anthony Richardson will be an excellent NFL quarterback, FOX Sports' Geoff Schwartz doesn't think he will be this season.

Speaking of Anthony Richardson, the team clearly thinks highly of him. Colts head coach Shane Steichen announced last week that the team voted the rookie quarterback one of seven team captains — making the 21-year-old one of the youngest captains in NFL history.
