Richardson talked about how his uncle introduced him to the game and did everything in his power so that his nephew could excel at it. He then moved onto the whispers of ‘NFL isn’t college ‘ and said that it wasn’t anything new for him.

“See you at the draft. If you call the name Anthony Richardson, I promise that you won’t regret it,” he wrote.
