NFL Pre-Draft

Florida Football: Anthony Richardson best prospect in two categories

Anthony Richardson considered 'best prospect' in multiple skill position traits
At times last season, Richardson showed why he is in conversation to be the No. 1 overall pick in this year’s draft. He used his arm strength to his advantage, even if he lacked touch and finesse at times. His scrambling got the Florida offense out of multiple sticky situations and his pocket presence looked NFL-ready as early as the Tennessee game.

Here is what Bowen had to say about Richardson’s arm talent:

With a rare physical tools at 6-foot-4 and 244 pounds, Richardson can attack all levels of the field with his big-time arm strength. The ball simply explodes out of his hand, which puts him in a position to throw over the top of the defense or attack tight windows on both middle-of-the-field and boundary concepts. Yes, he needs to work on the accuracy part of it, but he can drive the ball and throws rockets. His 9.9 air yards per attempt ranked 16th in the FBS last season, and 46 of his 176 completions were on passes thrown at least 15 yards downfield.
