Anthony Richardson is another quarterback in the 2023 NFL Draft who is making quite a buzz. The 6 foot 4 inches, 244 lbs athletic signal-caller has caught the eye of many, however, not everyone is yet convinced of his talent on the field. Born in Gainesville, Florida, Richardson attended the University of Florida where he was the Gators’ starting quarterback.
He is a dual threat quarterback who can run the ball pretty effectively when required. He is a tall quarterback with a great frame and his superb arm strength is rare to find as not many, even in the NFL, can match him in this regard. He has great athleticism and mobility so overall Richardson provides an excellent physical package.
At the NFL Combine, Richardson had a field day setting a record in the vertical jump with a 40.5-inch jump and tying the record with Arkansas’ Matt Jones in the broad jump with a 10-foot-9 jump. Albeit all of his physical talent, the main worry with the former Gator is his accuracy, especially with short to medium throws.
Some suggest that the accuracy is a factor due to his dismal footwork. However, if he wants to live up to his high potential, then he will have to work on improving this aspect of his game.
Anthony Richardson’s Net Worth
As per On3 website, Anthony Richardson’s current net worth is reported to be around $403K. Being one of the top quarterbacks in college football now comes with added perks. While it is a good platform to enter the NFL via the draft and eventually make millions of dollars, college athletes can now also make some cash via NIL deals.
NIL, short for Name, Image and Likeness is a way for college players to endorse brands and pocket some money. Richardson has also inked a few deals since the past year earning him a small fortune. A major endorsement which he signed recently is with Gatorade. Incidentally, Richardson became the first Florida Gator athlete to ever sign a deal with Gatorade.
