On Friday, the Indianapolis Colts made a major decision during the 2023 NFL Draft by selecting quarterback Anthony Richardson from the University of Florida with the fourth overall pick (gatorsports.com). This move surprised some experts who predicted that the Colts would select Kentucky’s Will Levis instead (Lexington Herald Leader). However, the Colts must have seen something special in Richardson’s abilities as he was ranked high in many mock drafts (CBS Sports).
Richardson is a promising prospect with a lot of potential to become a star in the NFL. He is known for his athleticism and power-throwing abilities, but experts also warn about his lack of experience in college football (NFL.com). Nevertheless, he promises to bring his best to the Colts, telling the media that his “best is still yet to come” (NFL.com).
The Lions are another team eyeing Richardson as their potential pick in the draft. In fact, Pride of Detroit argues that selecting Richardson could secure Detroit’s future at the quarterback position (Pride of Detroit). However, it seems that the Colts have already made their choice. According to Stampede Blue, the Colts have already picked Richardson as their top choice, despite rumors suggesting otherwise (Stampede Blue).
Meanwhile, Seattle may also be showing interest in Richardson, per a recent report from Sports Illustrated. The Seahawks could potentially replace quarterback Geno Smith with Richardson after 2023 (Sports Illustrated). This further highlights the potential Richardson has in the NFL, and his draft selection will certainly be followed by many fans and experts alike.
