HAWTHORNE, Fla. — Cedderick Daniels remembers the moment he first saw Anthony Richardson play football.

Sitting at his office computer clicking through thousands of photos, the memories come flooding back to Cedderick Daniels. 

“He threw a ball probably fifty, sixty yards down the field as a freshman.," Daniels said. "I already knew he had the arm talent." 

Daniels saw early what the rest of the country learned a few years later. Anthony Richardson is a special talent. His potential was tapped into as a 14-year-old freshman at Eastside High School in Gainesville. 

Then a 190lb freshman blossomed into a 6'4, 225lb 4-star prospect. His size and elite skill showcased in Florida is no match for his personality. 

“Everybody thinks he’s this big tough quarterback, linebacker, whatever it is to be huge but that kid is a kid and he’s enjoying a kid’s game.” 

Daniels laughs looking through old videos of his quarterback playing pranks on coaches or throwing down a vicious dunk in a basketball game.

His demeanor changes to pure excitement watching a replay of Richardson's electric 81-yard touchdown run vs. LSU. 

"Boom," he yells on Richardson's endzone dive. "I love it." 

There's a lot to love about his game and potential. Based on numbers from his lone season as the Gators' full-time starter, Richardson looks like an above-average college quarterback.

He racked up 3,203 total yards with 26 touchdowns and nine interceptions. His 53.8% completion percentage has been his biggest knock as a prospect. 

Breaking down the film, Richardson is an elite talent with seemingly unlimited athleticism and arm talent.

He made several gawdy plays in two seasons under both Dan Mullen and Billy Napier. His upside is why he's a projected top-10 pick for the NFL Draft. Now the million-dollar question. Where will he go? 

The answer won't be revealed until Thursday night but Daniels guarantees what one team will get in Anthony Richardson. 

"They're getting a worker." 

Richardson will likely be the 10th Florida Gator quarterback ever drafted.

He can become the second-ever gunslinger in orange and blue to go inside the top five joining former Heisman winner Steve Spurrier who was selected 3rd overall in 1967 by the San Francisco 49ers.
