Florida QB Anthony Richardson shows just how high his ceiling is at the Gators pro day

Anyone who follows college football or the NFL draft even a little knows the prodigious physical talents of Florida Gators QB Anthony Richardson already. The 6-foot-4, 244-pounder rewrote the Scouting Combine athletic record books earlier this month.

Richardson got another chance to show NFL talent evaluators from all 32 teams just how high his ceiling can be. Literally. At Florida’s pro day on Thursday, the 20-year-old launched a rocket of a deep ball that hit the ceiling of the Gators’ indoor training facility.

After his workout, Richardson was asked by former Gators wideout Chris Doering of the SEC Network if it was intentional. Richardson admitted that he saw Kentucky QB Will Levis do the game thing earlier this week at UK’s pro day. Richardson smilingly added that he was trying to throw it through the ceiling to one-up Levis.
