Former Florida soccer quarterback Anthony Richardson was among the many darlings at this 12 months’s Nationwide Soccer League draft, the place he was chosen by the Indianapolis Colts with the fourth general choose – the identical spot tight finish Kyle Pitts was taken two years prior.
Whereas the followers have fawned over the newly-minted skilled pass-caller — for good motive, given his prime metrics on the mix in addition to his big-play means — the rookie quarterback nonetheless retains himself grounded with the common of us.
That high quality was demonstrated in a video of him taking part in pick-up basketball in a sport attended by The Athletic’s Colts author James Boyd on Monday. In Boyd’s phrases:
Pulled up for a hoop session at this time and apparently Colts rookie QB Anthony Richardson had the identical thought. No stopping him in transition!
Lol I matched up with him a pair occasions, as soon as on a quick break. I finished and shot the three as a result of I do know he would’ve Lebron-ed my layup!

— James Boyd (@RomeovilleKid) July 11, 2023 At 6 foot 4 inches and 245 kilos, Richardson would certainly be a presence on the parquet, particularly given his superlative athletic abilities. The Gainesville native would seemingly wipe the ground with most of us if given the possibility.
