Florida football: Live tracker of Gators’ Anthony Richardson at NFL Combine
By Will Thomas
Florida football sent nine players to this year’s NFL Combine, but there are none with the hype and excitement around them that Anthony Richardson has.
His draft stock has been skyrocketing ever since the end of the college football season, and there is now a real possibility that AR is picked #1 overall if the right team trades up for the pick.
He’ll be taking the field later this afternoon, but he’s already impressed at the combine. Teams have been complimenting his interviews, saying how impressive he is not only as a player on the field but as a teammate off of it.
Gator fans who watched AR play this season know the physical tools that Richardson possesses. No other QB even comes close to what he can do. As Dan Orlovsky said during the Gators’ opening week matchup vs Utah, Anthony is a “freakazoid”.
This past season with the Gators, Richardson threw for 2,549 yards and 17 touchdowns, while only throwing nine interceptions.
He also ran for 654 yards and nine touchdowns, being one of the Gators’ most dominant run threats.
The upside that Richardson has is incredible. If he’s able to take the top off of the combine today, which a lot of people think he can do, AR will only see his draft stock rise.
Make sure to come back throughout the afternoon to check out Richardson’s performance, as we’ll have all of his numbers here:
40-yard dash: 4.43 – official
10-yard split: 1.53 – official
Vertical jump: 40.5” – Highest by QB since 2003
Broad jump: 10′ 9” – QB record
3-cone drill: TBD
20-yard shuttle: TBD
Bench press: TBD
