Anthony Richardson’s film shows how rare physical tools unlock creative play design

Anthony Richardson’s tape reveals why his skill set stands out immediately. His size, arm strength, and mobility give him tools that very few quarterbacks possess.

 

On film, he consistently shows the ability to make tight-window throws down the field, even when defenders are in perfect position. His arm talent allows him to fit balls into windows many quarterbacks would not even attempt.

 

Beyond the passing game, Richardson’s mobility is a major factor. Designed quarterback runs, paired with creative blocking schemes, allow him to pick up explosive gains without taking unnecessary hits.

 

Inside the pocket, Richardson also demonstrates the ability to climb, reset, and throw accurately under pressure.

 

Even without perfect footwork or a clean platform, he consistently delivers deep shots with power and placement.

Key Takeaways:

Elite arm strength: Richardson throws deep, tight-window passes with velocity even under pressure

Creative rushing threat: His speed and size create explosive gains on designed QB runs and read-option concepts

Pocket movement: Richardson climbs the pocket and maintains accuracy even when unable to step into throws
