Pat McAfee has made a name for himself in sports media.
McAfee, a former punter, has recently signed a massive deal with ESPN to bring his show to their network.
He is a known Indianapolis Colts fan, something he makes abundantly clear.
During the Colts’ final preseason game, McAfee entered the broadcasting booth, where he made a bold prediction about Anthony Richardson.
“Anthony Richardson’s gonna lead us to a Super Bowl,” McAfee exclaimed.

While this prediction was not taken seriously by the broadcasting team, several Colts fans, including McAfee, are excited to see what Richardson can do.
The Colts have not had a quarterback with Richardson’s athletic profile, as many previous athletes have fit the traditional mold of a pocket passer.
However, after their down year in 2022, something had to change for this organization.
Armed with a new coach, the Colts appear ready to step into the future, trying out a new style of play at the position.
Richardson’s prospect profile has been widely debated.
Some pundits believe he will be a bust, while others are confident he can step into an NFL system and succeed with ease.
With less than two weeks left until the regular season begins, Richardson has limited time left to grow and develop with his new team.
The Colts have committed significant resources to him, and are willing to give him a fair shot at being their franchise star.
A Super Bowl might be a lofty goal in year one, especially given how crowded the AFC currently is.
