Film Thoughts: Runs with force, not scared of big hits. Doesn’t have a lot of ball carrier moves. Unreal arm talent. Crazy strong-arm power. Decision-making is spotty at times. Accuracy is inconsistent for 15 yards and more. Running vision isn’t entirely there. Pocket mobility is great, can throw the ball on a rope without a great base. Play action is solid. With a clean pocket, can make any throw. Short throws are solid accuracy, medium can be some trouble, the deep throws are great when he has time, but can be trouble with any amount of pressure. Can attack man, but zone is tricky. Takes a fair number of risks. Great throw on the run. A tough SOB. Velocity on throws is always fast.
 
Anthony Richardson is another big, strong quarterback with an enormous amount of arm talent. The accuracy numbers won’t look favorable for him, but he can make every throw on the field when given a clean pocket. His athleticism is natural as he isn’t scared of contact and has great ability at escaping pressure. His ball carrier vision isn’t quite there yet. Richardson has solid short accuracy, but he could throw it away sometimes on these throws. The medium accuracy and throws to the sideline are iffy. This is also his biggest flaw where he trusts his arm talent too much and will gamble on tight windows. The deep throws are on the money for only his receiver to catch unless he gets hit. Also, his throws on the run are impressive for someone that hasn’t hit their full potential. I think he’s a great project quarterback with a ton of potential. I think a rough Florida team made him look worse than he actually is and if put in the right spot, I think he can have a ton of success in the league.
