After months of grueling, exhaustive internal evaluation – and months of grueling, exhausting external speculation – the Colts landed their guy Thursday night.
With the fourth overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, the Colts selected Florida quarterback Anthony Richardson.
The 6-foot-4, 244 pound Richardson was, according to Pro Football Focus, the "single most impressive athlete at the quarterback position in scouting combine history." His 4.43-second 40-yard dash was the fourth-fastest among quarterbacks at the NFL Combine since 2000; no quarterback had a higher vertical leap (40.5 inches) or longer broad jump (129 inches) than Richardson, too.
