If the Indianapolis Colts want Daniel Jones to take control of their starting quarterback position this offseason, the early returns from mandatory minicamp appear to be good news for the team.

Jones' performance and Anthony Richardson's absence during OTAs and minicamp aren't going to determine the quarterback competition. In terms of getting a true evaluation during this time of the year, when there is no pass rush and receivers can run freely, well, that's difficult.

The Indianapolis Colts gave quarterback Daniel Jones a one-year, $14 million deal to compete for the starting job, and head coach Shane Steichen loves what he has been seeing from the 28-year-old signal-caller.
