1. Florida QB Anthony Richardson
Florida Gators quarterback Anthony Richardson was one of the most intriguing options heading into the 2022 season.
Last season, he threw just 64 total passes. But he was still able to catch the attention of the football world. He finished the season with 529 passing yards, six passing touchdowns, and five interceptions. On the ground, he rushed for 401 yards and three touchdowns.
His performance led many to speculate how he would look as the Gators QB1. And he was able to silence any doubters with how he played.
On the way to taking down Utah in Week 1, Richardson threw for 168 passing yards. On the ground, he rushed for 106 yards and three touchdowns. And he looks to be a legitimate QB1 for the Gators.

Along with filling the statline, Richardson put on an absolute show. He made several elite plays and looked to be everything Florida could wish for and more.

Florida is now the No. 12 ranked team in the country. Richardson’s dual-threat abilities would be a dream for the NY supporters to watch. He’s another guy who has the potential to be a game-changer in the NFL.
