AFC Notes: Joe Flacco, Joe Mixon, Colts, Texans, Titans

Colts

New Colts QB Joe Flacco discussed what to expect out of him backing up 2023 first-round QB Anthony Richardson but he said he doesn’t believe his role is to mentor a young QB.

“It’s just one of those questions that you guys are going to nail me for either way,” Flacco said, via Joel A. Erickson of the Indy Star. “I really don’t believe that’s the job of the backup quarterback. I think that happens naturally as you become part of the team, you’re in that room and you are going to obviously do that.”

“I’ve proven to be, I think, as far as I’m concerned, a good teammate. It’s not like you’re going to sit there and hold people’s hands. You have relationships with people, just like you do every single team you’re on.”

Titans

New Titans C Lloyd Cushenberry specifically named OL coach Bill Callahan as a big reason he chose to sign with Tennessee.

“His resume speaks for itself,” Cushenberry said, via Terry McCormick of Titan Insider. “He’s coached a lot of great guys, and I’ve heard a lot of great things about him. I think it’s a good opportunity for me to continue to grow my game and take the next step as a player.”
