Colts head coach Shane Steichen is also not deterred by Jones's struggles with the Giants, including his 24-44-1 record in New York. Instead, Steichen pointed to Jones's 2022 season as reason to believe in his quarterback's potential.

The Indianapolis Colts made their decision and chose Daniel Jones as the starting quarterback on the team, leaving Anthony Richardson 's future in question. It was known that there would be a quarterback competition during training camp, and Jones showed enough that head coach Shane Steichen was confident in making his choice.

“Obviously, I was excited. Excited for the opportunity. As a competitor you want to be on the field, and that’s why you work,” Jones said. “I think we have a good football team.” Jones said he thinks he got the job because he showed Colts coach Shane Steichen that he’s consistent in his leadership of the offense.
