Ex-Florida QB Anthony Richardson is NFL Draft’s biggest wild card

Anthony Richardson could have played a Sidd Finch joke on the NFL Scouting Combine.

Richardson revealed Friday that he nicknamed himself “Cam Jackson” during his junior year of high school because of the two quarterbacks he most tried to emulate: Cam Newton and Lamar Jackson.

“Growing up, it was always Cam Newton for me,” Richardson said. “But then when I got to high school, just seeing how dynamic Lamar was, I tried to implement both of those guys in my life. Just trying to make big plays.” The consensus ideal situation is for Richardson, 20, to land behind a veteran quarterback under whom he can learn from the bench without calls for him to start, similar to the way the Chiefs introduced Patrick Mahomes and the Packers groomed Jordan Love.
