Love the irony here that Anthony Richardsons Ceiling is beyond anything we've ever seen at the QB position before and an actual ceiling wasn't big enough to hold his throw. https://t.co/pmfzWh4iPV

Whether Richardson “hit his ceiling” or not with this throw, he definitely put a stamp on his pre-draft process. Only time will tell now to see where he lands in the 2023 NFL Draft in April.
