Anthony Richardson receives sincere compliments from a 2-time Pro Bowl star

Despite only playing four games in his inaugural NFL season, Anthony Richardson captivated everyone’s attention and gained followers in the process.

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen recently praised Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck on FOX’s “Speak” show.

“Do you know somebody with a deceptively large arm? Bake, Baker Mayfield. “Matthew Stafford, Baker Mayfield, myself, and Patrick Mahomes all have big arms,” Allen remarked.

“There’s a lot of talented guys in this league, but I think Anthony Richardson might have the biggest one we’ll see,” he said.

Anthony Richardson demonstrated glimpses of his true capability.

Anthony Richardson has been identified as a breakout potential for the Indianapolis Colts in 2024, following his performance in 2023, according to PFF. In his brief rookie NFL season, the 21-year-old recorded 577 passing yards, three touchdowns, and one interception for an 87.3 passer rating.

Richardson, a former Florida Gator, suffered a shoulder tear against the Tennessee Titans in Week 5 and had to end his season.

His agent, Deiric Jackson, recently uploaded a video of him throwing the football with confidence. Given that he had surgery three months ago, this is a positive sign that he will be ready to go next season.
