Anthony Richardson draft stock

Florida quarterback Anthony Richardson may have done more than any other player to improve his draft stock at the Scouting Combine.

Richardson was outstanding in Indianapolis, and as a result he’s now listed behind Alabama’s Bryce Young in the betting odds to be the first quarterback drafted. Young remains the favorite at -240, but Richardson is now second at +380.

Ohio State’s C.J. Stroud has moved down to third at +430, while Kentucky’s Will Levis is a long shot at +1100. The extreme long shots are Stanford’s Tanner McKee at +7500 and Tennessee’s Hendon Hooker at +7500.

How did Richardson do it? By putting on one of the most impressive performances in Scouting Combine history. His vertical jump was the best ever for a quarterback. His broad jump was also the best ever for a quarterback. At 6-foot-4 and 240 pounds, with a 40-yard dash time of 4.43 seconds, he would be considered an elite athletic prospect at any position, not just quarterback.

But even more impressive was Richardson’s arm in the throwing drills. Richardson unleashed a series of 60-yard throws that landed in his receivers’ hands. Richardson’s arm talent is remarkable.

Richardson is not a perfect prospect. He completed just 53.8 percent of his passes last season at Florida, and he started just 13 games in his college football career. Completion percentage and games started are two of the college quarterback stats with the best track record for predicting NFL success, and Richardson ranks near the bottom of all the quarterbacks in this year’s draft in both categories.

But some NFL team is going to fall in love with Richardson’s raw talent, make him a first-round pick, and hope to develop him into a franchise starter for years to come.

I still want Stroud but I wouldn't be mad at all at getting AR15. Needs to sit a year though.

Same.  AR reminds me of a more explosive Josh Allen as a prospect

Posting this again: At this point last year …. Malik Willis was projected to be a top 3 overall pick after the combine and pro day.

 

dont fall for the hype machine and get angry if your team doesn’t draft who the media wants you to love.

Willis had the arm but he wasnt 6-4 244 and didnt obliterate the combine on qb day.  Willis was a pussy and didnt run the 40

Still was mocked to be at the top of the draft after the underwear olympics.

Thats fair but I think once he was on the radar after the senior bowl and combine teams dug into his tape, school and overall game and cooler heads prevailed on draft day.  Maybe that happens to AR but all we heard yesterday was Cam cam cam.  Maybe that dies and AR falls but as we sit here on March 5th I would bet anything he goes top 5.

 

And if you go back I was very much anti willis for numerous reasons.   If we leave this draft with either Stroud or AR I will be a happy panther fan.

Players rise and fall in projections(and the draft) all the time. There’s no comparison between Richardson and Willis. The comparison is lazy.

The player comparison isnt the topic. its the hype of a player and projected draft spot at this point of the year.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Leaning towards just ordering this tonight, but now I have no idea on size. Has anyone bought a bunch of jerseys in the last few years and can convey how the Game vs Limited vs Reebok versions all fit? These are both Mediums... The white one here is a Reebok one from 2010, and was when they had the "+2 length" on the tag and it was the version with the stitched numbers instead of iron on... the blue one is from 2022 and is the F.U.S.E Limited version also with stitched stuff, not the "game jersey" with the ironed on numbers/letters that they have the T-Mac jerseys in. The old one fits me fine, the blue one was always a tad snug on me, particularly in the shoulders I'm leaning going with a Large based on the CMC, but for all I know, that is made with a tighter cut due to the higher "limited" level and the "game" ones they have for T-Mac are cut more like a T-Shirt and thus will fit more like the old white one I have here, not sure. (and yes, I already tried going to a sporting goods store here to hopefully try on a Lions jersey to see, but they don't have any right now)

      Strength of Schedule for 2025

      I think there's a ton of potential in that WR room. But they really are unproven right now. Hopefully they live up to the hype.

      Some...concerning UNC / Belichick news

      By Basbear · Posted

      My unbelievable pile is touching the moon now-a-days. Bill is ultra control freak if there was ever one in the NFL, he's the guy. He stayed off SM and hate hate hated the media..........(wow bill what did you do in 2024??!?!?!).  So this guy, 100% control freak, just gave away all his SM to a 24 year old?? He doesn't understand SM at all... This is the same level as 8 time SB winner coming to coach UNC, after all this NIL BS that drove out his other control freak coaching friends.  This time line is insane.
