Anthony Richardson is a big name going around these days as the 2023 NFL Draft approaches. He has had a decent college career, but it was at the NFL Combine that he really grabbed the attention of many NFL coaches, scouts and general managers. He set a record for the vertical jump with a 40.5-inch jump. At the broad jump, he again performed exceptionally, tying the previous record with a 10-foot-9 jump.
Currently, there seems to be somewhat of a divided opinion on whether or not certain teams should consider drafting him based on some weaknesses found in his game. In his college career, he has shown that consistency and accuracy are his problem areas. This is for the most part due to his inferior footwork. It is a part of his game that can be improved going further.
However, many people are impressed with his physical attributes. He is a tall quarterback with immense strength. He should have no difficulty in adjusting to the NFL’s higher physicality. With one of the strongest arms in football, he is able to throw the deep ball with minimal effort. He is known for his good leadership qualities and worth ethic. The NFL’s official website has rated him as a potentially good quarterback who can become a starter in a couple of years.
