2023 NFL Draft quarterback prospect Anthony Richardson showed off his freakish athleticism during Saturday’s 2023 NFL Combine festivities.
Within a matter of two drills, Richardson set NFL Combine records for a quarterback in the vertical jump and broad jump
The Florida standout set an all-time quarterback record on the vertical jump with a 40.5-inch vertical. He also set a record in the broad jump with a 10-foot, 9-inch leap.
Richardson entered the weekend one of the most polarizing quarterback prospects in some time, and he’ll leave it with plenty of additional fans.
The possibility of him going in the first few picks of the draft are much higher after these stunning test results.

A good weekend at the NFL Combine has helped plenty of NFL Draft prospects over the years, and Richardson plays the most valuable position in the league.
Could a team like the Houston Texans, Indianapolis Colts, Las Vegas Raiders, Atlanta Falcons or Carolina Panthers trade up in the draft to secure Richardson as its starter? After Saturday’s blistering results, it’s possible.
