Is Playing in the NFL Really Easier Than College Football? Anthony Richardson Thinks So, But Stats Say Otherwise

Anthony Richardson, the young quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts, seems to have a strong sense of confidence despite his limited pro experience.

Speaking on a podcast recently, Richardson suggested that playing in the NFL is actually easier than his time at Florida.

His comments may be open to interpretation, as it's unclear whether he is referring to the skill level or the overall challenges of the two levels of football.

While Richardson may feel that his role in the NFL is clearer, his performance in his rookie season does not fully support this belief.

With only four games under his belt, Richardson has room to grow and develop before making bold statements about the differences between college and pro football.

His completion percentage, passer rating, touchdown percentage, and sack percentage from his rookie season show that he still has much to prove at the NFL level.

It seems that Richardson's perspective on the challenges of college versus the NFL may be premature based on his performance so far.
