Once OTA practices begin for the Indianapolis Colts, here are three things to watch for on offense.

With OTAs for the Indianapolis Colts beginning on May 26, let's take a look at three things to watch for on the offensive side of the ball as the next few weeks unfold. In this third phase of offseason programs, no contact can take place, but teams can do competitive team periods. OTAs are also voluntary for the players.

Now, here's what to watch for on offense. The reps at quarterback With Daniel Jones still rehabbing, someone has to take the first-team quarterback reps during OTAs. Will that be Anthony Richardson or Riley Leonard?

"Right now, we're in May, we'll see how it goes with all that," said Steichen of Richardson competing for the backup role in early May.
