Damn Richardson is still only 22 years old (won’t turn 23 until the end of May).
It’s tough to blame someone that was told they’d be a top 5-10 pick & ultimately did end up going 4th overall to stay in school. But his physical gifts pushed him way up the board than where his play level was at. Now he’s in between a rock & hard place. He’s needed the reps the last two years but the NFL isn’t a development league for QB’s especially anymore.
Right or wrong I don’t think teams care if you were a high pick anymore like they perhaps used to. You have a year or two window to show some signs of hope.

QB development is hell. If you're really good in college, you earn yourself a draft spot that puts you in a position where you probably don't have many reps, and due to your draft capital the team needs you to provide returns immediately. There's this unfortunate sweet spot where fantastic physical gifts spell the doom of your long-term career in most cases. They're thrown into a sink-or-swim situation and they didn't have time to learn how to swim, so they're trying to learn as they die.

Richardson is definitely on the more extreme end admittedly. He’s probably one of those “unicorn” type of prospects where the traits are so insane you overlook his substandard play level at that time. I’m usually against these type of bets in all sports but I actually don’t blame it here. But this guy desperately needed reps when he left college & two years later he still needs them.
He was a one year starter in college & I’m not even sure you can say he was good QB at that level in that one year. His success in that window essentially boiled down to be an elite athlete.

Texans WR Diggs out for season with torn ACL
Texans wide receiver Stefon Diggs has a torn ACL and will miss the rest of the season, coach DeMeco Ryans said Tuesday.
That'll give him a lot of time to make more saucy tweets.
