Looking back at the Dan Mullen Era at Florida, one of the downfalls in 2021 was his perceived lack of usage of Anthony Richardson. Mullen had hitched his horse to Emory Jones even though Richardson flashed a far higher ceiling for the Gators. Richardson would eventually get his shot in 2022 when Billy Napier came to town, and had a solid but not elite season during his one year as Florida’s starting QB.
That one season was enough to convince the Indianapolis Colts to select him No. 4 overall in the 2023 NFL Draft.
But the flaws at Florida never got fixed in the NFL, and combined with a rash of injuries, it appears that Richardson’s time with the Colts is coming to an end.
