Richardson Traded: New Start for Colts QB

0:00On February 26th, Anthony Richardson, the former Florida Gators quarterback, is on the move. The Indianapolis Colts and Richardson have mutually agreed to explore a trade ahead of next season. Drafted fourth overall in 2023, the young signal caller never quite found his footing in India. Richardson battled injuries in ups and downs during his time there. Over 17 games in three seasons, he threw for 2,400 yards, 11 touchdowns, and 13 interceptions. He lost a starting job to Daniel Jones in training camp before the 2025 season, then a freak workout accident sidelined him with a broken orbital bone. A standout from Gainesville's East Side High, Richardson chose to play close to home at Florida. Under coach Billy Napier in 2022, he started all 12 regular season games, passing for 2,549 yards, and 17 scores while rushing for 652 yards and nine more touchdowns. Now turning 24 in May, Richardson could thrive with a fresh start elsewhere.
