The anticipation amongst Colts fans for which QB the team will select is palpable as we inch closer to next month’s NFL Draft.
We’ll continue to break down everything from box scores, to film, to accuracy, to arm strength, to if there is a proverbial you must be this tall to be an NFL quarterback sign in every locker room around the league.
Joking aside, by this point we know the names. Bryce Young, CJ Stroud, Will Levis, Anthony Richardson.

It’s likely to still be a while until we learn not only who the Colts will select, but if they will trade up to ensure they get their guy.
Which prospect is their guy? Well only a select few up at West 56th Street no the answer to that question. Since Chris Ballard isn’t likely to tell us anytime soon and Jim Irsay isn’t likely (we think) to let anything slip on Twitter, all we can do is talk to the top analysts and evaluate the info ourselves before we make an educated decision on what Indy will do.
One thing we haven’t discussed though is which quarterback has that defining straight that separates them from the pack and could propel them to achieve truly extraordinary things for years to come.
That’s right, we’re talking about the IT factor. That game changing, difference making, elite level ability to turn games in an instant and make everybody around you better.

“One that wins. You want a guy who has a fast mind, and accurate. We get caught up on arm strength, but guys that are accurate, and who makes plays when the game’s on the line.” pic.twitter.com/50RyPb5pmc

Who among Young, Stroud, Richardson and Levis have that IT factor?
