Colts' Alec Pierce Gave Thoughts on Quarterback Competition

The Indianapolis Colts have a subject within their franchise walls that will dominate NFL headlines: the quarterback competition between Anthony Richardson and Daniel Jones. This is with good reason; whichever quarterback gets the start means the other might be a backup until proven otherwise.

In interviews with coaches and players, big-play wide receiver Alec Pierce was asked about his thoughts on the competition between Richardson and Jones. Here's what the former Cincinnati Bearcat pass-catcher had to say on the subject.

“Basically just be there for both of them. Kind of communicate with both of them, treat them both like the starting quarterback and just ask what they need from me – if they want to get extra balls or whatever because it is going to be like, with them just splitting reps or whatever we're just going to get less reps with each other."

Pierce concluded by saying: "So like, anything they need extra from me I just let them know I'm there for them.”

Pierce is ready to work and help whichever signal-caller gets the nod as the starter. Last year, Pierce was as explosive as any receiver in the league while navigating Richardson and Joe Flacco starting under center.

Pierce had a career campaign, putting up 37 catches for 824 receiving yards and seven touchdowns. His 22.3 yards per catch was good enough for the NFL's best in that category.
