Anthony Richardson's Arm Talent Compared to Josh Allen's by GM amid NFL Draft Buzz

Evaluations of former University of Florida quarterback Anthony Richardson may be the most varied of any player—and certainly of any quarterback—in the upcoming 2023 NFL draft.

Richardson, 21, has been lauded for his arm strength and mobility but has received criticism from scouts regarding his lack of accuracy during his career with the Gators.

The opinions on Richardson resemble those of a quarterback coming out Wyoming in the 2018 draft named Josh Allen. In fact, one NFL general manger compared Richardson's arm strength to that of the Bills superstar.

"Allen had this great throw at the combine when he was coming out—it was like a 70-yard bomb—and it kind of made us all sit up and take notice," the general manager told ESPN's Matt Miller.
