Tom Brady attributed his ability to play well into his 40s in part to following a strict diet. Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson says he has come to realize he needs to do the same.<\/p>\n

Richardson said this week that he recognized that the high-sugar diet he was eating was not consistent with his goals on the field, and so he made a change this offseason.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had to cut the sweets out, man,\u201d Richardson said, via ESPN. \u201cIt\u2019s the candy. I used to be big on Skittles<\/a> and all that stuff, just eating candy all the time. So, I\u2019ve been just trying to cut out the sugary stuff and hydrate more. I need to be more of a pro when it comes to my eating.\u201d<\/p>\n

Richardson said he lost 10 pounds as a result of the effort, and he knows that kind of effort is what it takes to be the best.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just feel like the things I was doing last year and the year before, I feel like there was more [to do],\u201d Richardson said. \u201cAll the greats, they always do more. They do more than what other people are expecting them to do. After last season, I felt like I needed to do more not only for the team, but for myself. If I want to be a great and I want to be in the Hall of Fame one day, I have to do more. I know I have to go do things that other people won\u2019t do.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Colts want to see Richardson look more like a franchise quarterback in every way. At least with his eating, he\u2019s heading in the right direction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tom Brady attributed his ability to play well into his 40s in part to following a strict diet.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":54088,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,99],"class_list":["post-54087","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54087","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=54087"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54087\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/54088"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=54087"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=54087"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=54087"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
