Anthony Richardson. 3. player. 840. . .

This might be a player that won’t even enter the 2023 NFL Draft and remain at Florida for his senior season. If Anthony Richardson decides to not enter the draft, he has the chance at being the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.

With the way injuries happen, would Richardson risk doing that? Coming out in this year’s draft might be smart considering you can land anywhere between picks 5-20.

Richardson heads into bowl season as the third quarterback in these rankings. His play style is similar to Patrick Mahomes and if he is able to pull off that type of career, the Colts could have the future of the NFL in Indianapolis.

Imagine the Colts pairing Anthony Richardson and Jonathan Taylor to create the best play-action duo since Peyton Manning and Edgerrin James.

That seemed to work in the past to set the Colts up for a Super Bowl, could they do it again with this pick? Richardson can be drafted as high as fifth to the Detroit Lions, so it might take a trade to get there. The Colts could also sit at their pick and hope he falls to them.
