Indianapolis Colts reporter James Boyd of The Athletic raised some eyebrows when he wrote on June 23 that free-agency signing Daniel Jones "has already taken a significant lead in what was supposed to be a wide-open quarterback competition" over third-year pro Anthony Richardson.

"Daniel Jones is QB1 (for now). The Colts signed the ex-Giants/Vikings quarterback in free agency to challenge Anthony Richardson for the QB1 title in Indy, and Jones has already taken a significant lead in what was supposed to be a wide-open quarterback competition," Boyd wrote.

Two ESPN analysts recently weighed in on the Colts' QB competition between Anthony Richardson and Daniel Jones.
