What It Means:

The Colts stayed pat at the fourth overall pick and selected their quarterback of the future in Florida Gators quarterback Anthony Richardson. Richardson blew up the NFL Combine, posting off-the-charts size-adjusted athleticism. The Colts have spent the past several seasons trying to make ends meet with veteran quarterbacks, but will stake out a new future with Richardson at the helm.

Richardson posted an amazing 4.43-second 40-yard dash at 6'4", 244 pounds at the Combine, and showed off his elite athleticism by posting 654 rushing yards and 9 rushing touchdowns in his final season with the Gators. The exciting young quarterback is still growing as a passer, and completed 53.8% of his passes for 2,549 yards, 17 scores, and 9 interceptions in 2022.
