He’s everything the rebuilding Gators need and everything opposing defenses fear. He just needs to stay heathy, something he failed to do as a backup last season.
FILE - Florida quarterback Anthony Richardson throws a pass while under pressure from Georgia defensive lineman Travon Walker during the first half of an NCAA college football game, Saturday, Oct. 30, 2021, in Jacksonville, Fla. Anthony Richardson is now Florida’s unchallenged — and still unproven — starting quarterback, a budding star who’s already become a popular name found near the top of several 2023 NFL mock drafts.
The 6-foot-4, 232-pound Richardson flashed in a backup role behind Emory Jones last season, running wild against Florida Atlantic and South Florida before a hamstring injury sidelined him two games.He got his lone start in late October against Georgia’s generational defense. But he turned the ball over three times in a two-minute span late in the second quarter and then sustained a concussion after halftime.
Nonetheless, Richardson has drawn comparisons to 2010 Heisman Trophy winner Cam Newton. Richardson welcomes the flattery because Newton was his idol growing up. “I know we all want to put a crown on his head,” Napier said. “The guy has completed 33 passes in his career. The great quarterbacks at the University of Florida, they compete 33 in one game, so I think we’ve got work to do there.”
