Anthony Richardson is an American professional football player who plays quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts in the NFL. He signed a fully guaranteed four-year rookie contract worth just under $34 million after being drafted fourth overall in 2023, though no independently verified figure exists for his current personal net worth.
Early Life & Family
Anthony Richardson Sr. was born on May 22, 2002, in Miami, Florida, and grew up playing football in Gainesville, Florida, attending Eastside High School before finishing his prep career at Loften High School.
Rise to Fame
Richardson became a highly touted dual-threat quarterback prospect at the University of Florida, where his combination of arm strength and athleticism made him one of the most talked-about prospects heading into the 2023 NFL Draft, despite a relatively limited number of college starts.
Career History
The Indianapolis Colts selected Richardson with the fourth overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. His rookie season was cut short by a shoulder injury that required surgery. He returned as the Colts’ starter in 2024 but had an inconsistent season and was benched at points. Heading into 2026, the Colts re-signed veteran Daniel Jones to an $88 million contract to be the team’s starting quarterback, with Richardson competing with second-year quarterback Riley Leonard for the backup role. Richardson’s representatives explored a possible trade in early 2026, though no move materialized, and the Colts have since indicated he could remain with the team for the 2026 season.
How They Built Their Wealth
Richardson’s earnings come from his four-year, fully guaranteed rookie contract with the Colts worth approximately $34 million, including a signing bonus of around $21.7 million. His base salary was scheduled to rise each year of the deal, from $750,000 in 2023 to roughly $5.3 million in 2026. No verified figure for his personal net worth beyond these contract terms has been publicly reported.
Once seen as a franchise cornerstone after going fourth overall in 2023, Anthony Richardson now finds himself fighting for a roster role behind Daniel Jones — a reminder of how quickly fortunes can change at football’s most demanding position.
