Chris Ballard on Richardson: "We like what he can be." ... "We drafted him for what we think he can really be in the future. He's a smart kid, he works."

Ballard said it got a little tense at 3, "any time you've targeted a guy, you get worried about somebody laying in the weeds."

Ballard: "He's young, but he's very poised. I think you see it when he plays. He's a very poised young man."

Says he watched all of the times Richardson was blitzed, that's what convinced him.

Steichen: "The development of players comes with more experience."

Sounds like Colts aren't necessarily stashing him on the bench to develop.

Ballard on the accuracy question: "I think we're seeing it in the league now, you can work on footwork and fundamentals, and they can make a jump in the league."

Ballard says Morocco Brown was texting him from Florida's practice field in August, saying he couldn't believe the show he was seeing.
