The importance of leadership at the quarterback position, specifically in college football, cannot be overstated

Marcus Freeman's decision to name CJ Carr as his new starting quarterback is "great news" for Notre Dame as the program prepares for life without Riley Leonard. The Fighting Irish have had a major hole to fill ever since Leonard graduated at the end of last season and moved on to the NFL with the Indianapolis Colts,

Colts head coach Shane Steichen shared the plan for the quarterback position in the third and final preseason game against the Bengals on Saturday. Neither new starter Daniel Jones nor backup Anthony Richardson Sr. will play at all, according to Steichen. Richardson, who’s in desperate need of NFL reps in order to develop, will be held out.

Leonard was 7-for-12 for 64 yards without a touchdown or interception in Saturday's preseason loss to Green Bay. He also had two carries for 10 yards. Leonard wasn't overly impressive but improved after throwing an ugly interception in his first preseason game.

The Indianapolis Colts coaching staff has opted to play their back-end quarterbacks in the team's final preseason game.

Leonard is coming into the Colts preseason battle with the Ravens having steadily improved throughout the first phase of training camp, drawing some attention for the passes he’s been able to complete while working with Indy’s third team offense.

Last year's Notre Dame Fighting Irish starting quarterback is, according to reports, having a good showing in a different part of Indiana. Riley Leonard, who made the move from South Bend to Indianapolis when the Indianapolis Colts drafted him, has impressed observers, such as the "Locked On Colts " podcast.

As the Colts took over possession, one announcer began to announce Riley Leonard as the quarterback entering the game for Indianapolis. Bean however took over, leading to the announcer unintentionally using a racial slur to refer to Bean.
