There are many Florida Gators shining in the National Football League and most eyes have been drawn to former Florida quarterback and current Indianapolis Colt [autotag]Anthony Richardson[/autotag].
He played well in his NFL debut against the Jacksonville Jaguars, recording a rushing and passing touchdown on top of completing 64% of his passes for 223 yards.
Richardson followed up the performance with solid play in the first half of week two against the Houston Texans, scoring two touchdowns with his legs and connecting with his receivers for 56 yards. AR has been stellar while using his legs but his mobility is leading to him taking a lot of big hits.
The Gainesville, Florida, native took a hard shot last week in the fourth quarter and had to depart early. Unfortunately, Richardson took another big shot this week while scoring his second touchdown, this time hitting his head on the turf.
ANTHONY RICHARDSON AGAIN ‼️

Richardson entered concussion protocol and his availability for week three is being put into question. The Colts are set to face the Baltimore Ravens.
If Richardson doesn’t pass the concussion protocol, backup quarterback Gardner Minshew is slated to take over the offense.
