On April 1st, Colt Brass dropped some real top from the NFL owner's meetings in Phoenix this week. Owner Carly Urse Gordon, GM Chris Ballard, and coach Shane Steichen, updated on quarterback Anthony Richardson's future. Two injured rookies and A, heated kicker battle coming up. Richardson, the young talent drafted fourth overall in 2023, could stick around on the roster into 2026. He backed up Dango Jones last season before a freak facial injury sidelined him, though he showed growth and flash potential late in the year. With Jones healing from a torn Achilles tendon, sixth round pick Riley Leonard grabs first team reps this spring. Meanwhile, third round corner, Justin Wally, and seventh round safety, Hunter Woller missed their entire rookie year on injured reserve. Wally tore his ACL in practice, Woller hurt his foot in preseason, but both grinded through rehab like pros and built a tight bond in the process. Now picture this kicker showdown.
Spencer Schrader and Blake Group both lit it up in five games a piece last season. Schrader nailed 13 of 14 field goals, including a game winner before a knee injury. Group went perfect down the stretch with a franchise record 60 yarder. Expect fireworks and training camp as these guys battle it out, while the Colt's gear up Leonard and welcome back the injured crew for a stronger push. Next ball.
