Jeremiah: 'Payoff Could Be Huge' If Lions Pick Anthony Richardson
There has been an increase in speculation the Detroit Lions could select a quarterback with one of their two first-round NFL draft picks in April.
NFL draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah is among those who could see general manager Brad Holmes selecting Florida Gators quarterback Anthony Richardson.
Jeremiah explained on social media the talented quarterback “has the most upside of any QB in this draft. I love the fit in Detroit. No rush to get him on the field. Goff can hold it down until he’s ready. The payoff could be HUGE.”
With veteran Jared Goff under center, the team could stash the talented quarterback and develop him in their system.
"The Lions have the perfect situation for Richardson as he enters the league," Jeremiah explained in his latest mock draft, which has Richardson being selected with the 18th pick. "He can sit behind Jared Goff for at least a year and then provide the rewards that come from building a team around a quarterback playing on his rookie contract."
