Anthony Richardson Made The List, Is Now One Of The Most Hated In Philadelphia For Breaking Out The "Fly Eagles Fly" Celebration In A Preseason Game
Michael Owens. Getty Images.I'm sure that Anthony Richardson will go on to have a perfectly fine NFL career. But the 4th overall pick better hope he spends his entire career in Indianapolis, because then he'll only have to play in Philadelphia once every 4 years. He may not even realize it yet, but Anthony Richardson made the list last night.
This man was out there playing a preseason game against a bunch of 3rd stringers. Just a bunch of guys who will likely be back to working their construction jobs next week once some more cuts get made.
And it's not even like this scoring drive ended with some ridiculous throw to the back corner of the endzone from Anthony Richardson. No. 3 straight runs from Deon Jackson got the job done. I'm all for taunting an opposing fan base, but it's all about time and place. A preseason game where you went 6/17 without accounting for a single touchdown isn't the time, and Philadelphia is rarely the place. Anthony Richardson is young, and I'm sure he'll figure it out at some point. Unfortunately, however, it'll be too late for him. Philly doesn't forget.
Sidenote: No offense Britain Covey, but I literally have no idea how the Eagles have the fastest man in the league and don't use Devon Allen on punt return this year.
