Indianapolis Colts Quarterback Anthony Richardson. Kelly Wilkinson/IndyStar / USA TODAY NETWORK

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson gained a new fan recently for an awesome reason.

A man named Parker Suddeth revealed on social media last week that he was traveling on the freeway in the Indianapolis area with a passenger when he had to pull over because of a blown out tire. When Suddeth pulled over to the side of I-65, someone came up behind him to assist him. That good Samaritan was Richardson.

Suddeth shared some photos of him and Richardson on Instagram and praised the former No. 4 overall pick for being “the only man who had the decency to help us.”

Richardson appeared in just four games as a rookie last year before suffering a season-ending shoulder injury. Colts fans have not gotten to see much from him on the field, but the good deed should help provide a glimpse into the type of person the former Florida star is off the field.

Richardson is not the first NFL quarterback to help a stranded motorist. Drivers with flat tires and overheated engines everywhere can only hope the trend continues.
