From a measurables and testing standpoint, Florida’s Anthony Richardson had the best performance by a quarterback in NFL Combine history on Saturday.
Richardson set the combine record at his position in the broad jump (40.5″) and the vertical jump (10’9″), while running the fourth-fastest 40-yard dash (4.43 seconds).
Only Michael Vick (4.33), Reggie McNeal (4.40) and Robert Griffin III (4.41) ran faster 40-yard times. Richardson weighs 34, 46 and 21 pounds more, respectively.
Richardson finished with the highest RAS (relative athletic score) amongst quarterbacks all-time, a perfect 10.0, surpassing Cam Netwon’s 9.99 score at the 2011 combine.
Here was the social media reaction to Richardson’s record-setting showing in Indy, including highlights from his workout.
