Riley Leonard, former quarterback for Notre Dame, is making a strong impression during his rookie training camp with the Indianapolis Colts. Although currently listed third on the depth chart behind Anthony Richardson and Daniel Jones, Leonard's performance has garnered attention from various observers, including analysts from the Locked On Colts podcast. Many rookies shine in practice but translating that success into games remains a challenge. Leonard's journey is particularly notable, as he was primarily seen as a backup prospect coming out of college.

His story of potentially starting in the NFL, however unlikely, adds an element of excitement. As a Notre Dame alum, Leonard is a player to watch, especially as Colts fans hope to see a glimpse of his potential translate to the field. With the pressure of competition and the uncertainties of a rookie's transition to the NFL, Leonard’s progress will be a narrative worth following this season.
