GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Anthony Richardson stole the show during a record-setting NFL scouting combine to position himself as the possible No. 1 pick in next month’s draft.
For an encore, Florida’s former quarterback plans to throw on Thursday during the Gators’ Pro Day as he pushes to build a case as the best quarterback available.
“We look at it like: as a competitor, any time you get a chance to go out there and compete, showcase your skill set, you want to take that opportunity,” Deiric Jackson, Richardson’s agent and a former Gainesville High star, told the Orlando Sentinel Wednesday. “We don’t shy away from these opportunities. We embrace them. We welcome them.”
