AFC Notes: Travis Hunter, Anthony Richardson, Colts, Jaguars, Titans

Colts

Colts HC Shane Steichen admits that he would like to see QB Anthony Richardsonโ€˜s completion percentage improve.

โ€œThat definitely needs to improve, the completion percentage,โ€ Steichen said, via Pro Football Talk. โ€œI think you canโ€™t go broke taking a profit. But getting those completions is huge. And just moving the chains โ€” instead of being in second-and-10, maybe taking the check-downs, [you get] yourself into second-and-2. So, weโ€™re going to be working on that this offseason and going into training camp.โ€

โ€œ[W]e sat down and talked about it and said, you know, โ€˜We need to bring in some competition for Anthony,โ€™โ€ Steichen added. โ€œObviously, Anthonyโ€™s shown some signs of really good things. But weโ€™re just looking for consistency on a day-to-day basis. Thatโ€™s part of the process right now that weโ€™re going through, is the competition. So, heโ€™s going to have to take advantage of the reps that he gets โ€” him and Daniel. Itโ€™s a competition, and competition makes everyone better.โ€

Jaguars

Jaguars HC Liam Coen noted the importance of CB/WR Travis Hunter being โ€œfluidโ€ in his first year with whatever franchise drafts him in the first round this month.

โ€œI think you have to be fluid as an organization,โ€ Coen said via Jaguars on Sports Illustrated. โ€œBecause of his diversity, what he can do, the amount of snaps he plays. Heโ€™s going to play both sides of the ball and that has to be an organizational buy-in from the coaches, the strength staff, the athletic training, sports performance, everybody has to be involved, as well as the coaches.โ€

โ€œHaving patience with each side of the ball,โ€ Coen added. โ€œBecause you really donโ€™t want to kind of put him in a box. You really just want to, โ€˜Hey, what does he come in and do the best?โ€™ Youโ€™re going to be able to let him do both, so youโ€™re going to find out what heโ€™s best at and then, โ€˜Hey, letโ€™s mold things to that and be fluid for those conversations.โ€

Titans

Titans HC Brian Callahan needs to see more out of WR Treylon Burks, adding that he will have a chance to compete with the other wide receivers when he returns to full health.

โ€œTrey did some good things; Iโ€™d like to see more from him,โ€ Callahan said, via TitansWire.com. โ€œHeโ€™ll have an opportunity like everyone else, but again, itโ€™s a position right now that we need the guys to step up in.โ€
