Anthony Richardson is one of the most interesting quarterback prospects in the NFL draft. After not being included at the top of many early mock drafts, his performance at the NFL Combine put him on the map. Now, many are calling him the best prospect in the draft. In a recent interview, Richardson talked about his athletic skills.
Anthony Richardson: “I’m An Alien”
Richardson believes he is one of a kind as a player.
“As a player, I’m not human. I’m an alien. I don’t think I can be compared to anybody. As a person, I’m normal — just a fun-loving guy who likes to make people smile.”
His athletic skills are freaky. He broke records for quarterbacks during the tests at the NFL Combine. While he has limited starts at quarterback, no one can deny his physical skills. On his pro day, he showed confidence that made many people forget about the limited starts. This is exactly the type of starter that teams seem to want to have in the building. He is confident but also a fun-loving guy who will do well in an NFL locker room.

Where Will Richardson Land?
Many people seem to think that the Carolina Panthers are leaning toward Bryce Young. The Houston Texans are apparently looking to pass on a quarterback at number two. This leaves the third spot as the most intriguing for Richardson. This is the spot where a team who really likes Richardson could move up and take him. There is no shortage of teams later in the draft that needs a quarterback. The Raiders, Falcons, Vikings, and Titans are just some of the teams that have been rumored to be looking at moving up and it just might be Anthony Richardson they are looking for.
You have to love the confidence that comes from Richardson saying, “I’m an alien”. The NFL draft has no shortage of drama heading into Thursday and where he goes will be something that every fan will be watching for.
