Anthony Richardson started out the 2022 campaign en fuego, leading Florida football to an upset win over the Utah Utes in the Swamp to open the schedule as well as the Billy Napier era with a bang. The Gators’ starting quarterback quickly caught the attention of the national media, and even with the preseason hype he received, his stock rose even higher.
However, the redshirt sophomore regressed in his second game, the SEC opener against the Kentucky Wildcats, in which he seemed to be his and his team’s own worse enemy, essentially giving the game away with a pair of picks along with his overall subpar performance.
Nonetheless, many still believe in his unquestionable raw talent. Additionally, that Wildcats squad that shut him down is both a formidable conference opponent as well as a fellow top-20 team. With that in mind, he still seems to be retaining value in the Heisman Trophy odds.
