Colts Training Camp ‘Day 3’ Takeaways

It was hot out there, and there were some positive takeaways in the sweltering late July heat at Colts camp.

I went ‘camping’ live for the first time in Grand Park, Westfield, on Friday morning, and with the late July temperatures rising (blame all that corn sweat!), so did quarterback Anthony Richardson’s play—with unquestionably his best performance in Colts camp to-date.

With that being said, here are some of the takeaways from the Colts on ‘Day 3’ collectively:

Anthony Richardson Brings his ‘A Game’

Anthony Richardson had his best day of #Colts camp today. Took the check downs and delivered a few zingers for chunk gains. Connected a couple times with Tyler Warren, who also had his best day.

Daniel Jones was efficient and had a nice ball to Josh Downs while under pressure.

Easily Anthony Richardson’s best day of camp.

Tyler Warren a frequent target. Snagging balls all over.

Colts training camp observations, Day 4

Anthony Richardson’s best day in terms of short-range accuracy and decision making
That said, it’s weird that he hasn’t thrown a good deep ball yet. He sailed one *bad* over Alec Pierce’s head on a deep post

Colts Top Rookie Flashing Early and Often

Easily Anthony Richardson’s best day of camp.

Tyler Warren’s catch radius is impressive. The man catches everything thrown his way. #Colts

#Colts QB Anthony Richardson now in with starters in 11-on-11. Just hit TE Tyler Warren in stride for a big gain.

And the first play of the first team’s final 11-on-11 session of the day is a short connection between Anthony Richardson and Tyler Warren. His third impressive hands catch so far. Catch radius is legit.

Seems to be some rapport building between the two through three practices. https://t.co/C7kgyosNDn

Daniel (Not Powter) Had a Bad Day

Colts camp observations, Day 4

This was Daniel Jones’ worst day. I counted 4 of his 10 throws ending in a PBU when he just stared down the receiver and threw impossibly late
Tyler Warren saved two off-target AR passes. Best he’s looked so far

The first play of 7-on-7 saw Daniel Jones hit Alec Pierce on a deep out route after Pierce lost JuJu Brents in the dust out of his break. #Colts

— Noah Compton (@nerlens_) July 25, 2025

The rest of this session:

– late progression find to Pierce on in-breaker
– MOF throw broken up by Joe Bachie + JuJu Brents
– Adonai Mitchell drop
– hitch to Ogletree in traffic

Lou’s New Attacking Secondary

Colts camp observations, Day 4

This secondary just attacks the ball. New emphasis, clearly. But Cam Bynum helps a lot as he plays like a downhill torpedo after the ball
Very clunky camp for AD Mitchell so far — drops, slips, etc. QB play isn’t helping, of course

Hopefully Just Early Rust for AD in Camp

Really hoping that it all comes together soon for #Colts 2nd-year WR AD Mitchell. He’s had a rocky start to camp — drops, slips, fumbles — but he’s still doing what he does best: getting open.

Patience is hard when there’s so much potential oozing but I think it’ll be worth it.

Latu Gets the Better of Bernhard on the Edge

Couple big plays, Laiatu Latu beat Bernhard Raimann badly off the edge with a cross-chip and got to Daniel Jones. Play continued, though, and Jones found Josh Downs for a big gain.

Colts Inactives Comprised of Veterans

#Colts CB Charvarius Ward, TE Mo Alie-Cox and DE Samson Ebukam are not practicing today.
