It might just be coachspeak as the team angles to retain impending free agent Donald Brown, but Colts coach Chuck Pagano insists he remains high on running back Trent Richardson.
"We all understand how he got here. He was thrown into the mix like that," Pagano said, per NFL.com, referring to the midseason acquisition of Richardson. "So now he has an opportunity to go through an offseason and be with us for a full year headed into the 2014 campaign.
"He wants to be great," Pagano added. "He's got all the talent, he's got all the ability. We would never have done what we did if we didn't believe that. We look for him to have a great offseason and have a great 2014 campaign."
Richardson averaged 3.0 yards on 188 carries, scoring four touchdowns.
