He completed 126/264 pass attempts, throwing for 1,814 yards, eight touchdowns and 12 interceptions with a passer rating of 61.6. He also added six touchdowns and 499 yards while rushing.

Let's examine the dual-threat quarterback's performance in the 2023 NFL scouting combine before moving forward.

One of the most exciting talents among the draft candidates going into the 2023 Combine, Richardson created history during his workouts in Indianapolis. His measurements and athletic testing results were excellent. At 244 pounds, he tied for the 17th-heaviest quarterback in league history.

Richardson ran the 40-yard dash in 4.43 seconds, the fourth-quickest time among signal-callers at the NFL Combine. Michael Vick (4.33), Robert Griffin III (4.41) and Reggie McNeal (4.40) were the three QBs who ran faster.

Richardson also hit a top speed of 23.44 mph during his sprint and completed a 129-inch broad jump and a 40.5-inch vertical leap. He's one of just 14 athletes in more than 20 years to have a 40-inch vertical and a 129-inch broad jump at the NFL Combine.

Anthony Richardson was projected to be chosen in the top 14 overall picks in the draft. Eventually, the Indianapolis Colts drafted him with the fourth overall choice.
