The right play

 Look, I don't know what kind of NFL quarterback Anthony Richardson is going to become. The skill set is huge but the sample size was too small last season to make any sort of informed prediction.

Here's what I do know, however: His skill set as a human being is pretty huge, too.

This after a young man named Parker Suddeth and his girlfriend had a blowout on I-65 the other day, leading to every motorist's worst nightmare: Trying to change a flat tire on a busy interstate.

For 20 minutes, Suddeth said, he tried to flag someone down. No dice.

Finally a car pulled over. Out climbed this big guy with dreads and a LeBron James T-shirt. He proceeded to drive Suddeth and his girlfriend to an auto parts store and gave them $200 without ever mentioning who he was until Parker asked him what he did for a living.

"He said 'football' and I asked him who he played for and he said 'the Colts', and I was just like 'Oh wow'," Suddeth told WRTV in Indianapolis.

Turns out, of course, it was Anthony Richardson. Making the right play, as it were.

So if you were looking for a reason to root for him, there it is.
