University of Florida QB Anthony Richardson officially announced his intention to enter the 2023 NFL Draft in a statement posted to his Twitter account on Monday. He has opted to forgo his remaining college eligibility and not take part in Florida’s appearance in the 2022 Las Vegas Bowl.
It was an up-and-down year for Richardson, who had some great games and some not-so-great performances. Florida has gone a disappointing 6-6 this season. He will need some time to develop at the next level, and the best situation would be for him to sit for at least one season and learn from a veteran starter in the NFL.
Richardson’s dual-threat ability will have NFL scouts eager to see him at the NFL Combine and in interviews.
