The Indianapolis Colts went all-in on Anthony Richardson in the 2023 NFL draft, using the No. 4 pick on the Florida product whose potential was only matched by his inexperience.
On paper, Richardson was an obvious candidate to sit and learn behind a veteran. He played in 24 games across three seasons for the Gators, but started just 13—12 of which came in his third and final season. He had solid production for a young college quarterback, throwing for 2,549 yards, 17 touchdowns and nine interceptions with 654 rushing yards and nine scores, but his selection was far more about his rocket arm and mobility with a 6' 4", 240-pound frame.
