Richardson and Taylor are two of the top young talents in the NFL, and are an explosive offensive duo for the Colts.
However, after a big win on Sunday, they traded out their jerseys for aprons and got behind the counter at Dairy Queen.
The two stars were seen tossing chicken strips in sauce and handing them out to fans who were gathered around taking pictures.
Richardson and Taylor enjoyed surprising fans, saying they love to connect with them in person.
“I think it’s big on just connecting. You know, outside of them just seeing us in the jersey,” Richardson told WISH-TV.
“I think it’s good for them to see us in person and interact with us, you know, laugh and just crack jokes sometimes.
“So just connecting I think that’s a big thing for us.”
Taylor said he considers Indianapolis his home now, and wants to give back to the community by making appearances like the Dairy Queen day.
“Any place I like to call home, I’m huge on that, of giving back, being in the community as far as my home in Salem, New Jersey, then going to Wisconsin, and then now here being in Indy. I like to call this my third home,” Taylor said.
“So anytime I get to to get out and interact and be amongst the community it’s special for me.”
Taylor and Richardson have both missed some time this season, but are continuing to produce for the team.
Richardson has played in four of the Colts’ six games, passing for 654 yards and three touchdowns.
He is also using his legs effectively, rushing for 141 yards and a touchdown.
Richardson’s one issue has been turnovers, as he already has six interceptions and three fumbles this season.
Taylor has also played in four of the Colts’ six games this year, rushing for 349 yards.
London calling
The New York Jets and Minnesota Vikings kick off the NFL’s annual run of London fixtures.
New York and Minnesota face off at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday October 6 at 2.30pm local time – 9.30am ET for fans back home in America.
It is the first of three straight NFL Sundays that begin with an early game live from London.
The following week, Tottenham also plays host to the Jacksonville Jaguars against the Chicago Bears.
And on October 20, the Jags will head across town to Wembley Stadium to take on the New England Patriots.

With Richardson and Taylor down, veteran quarterback Joe Flacco has helped the team stay afloat.
His 716 passing yards and seven touchdowns have the Colts at a 3-3 record.
The team is in second place in the AFC South, and in prime position to push for a playoff spot.
Both Taylor and Richardson are expected to return to the lineup soon.
