Already earning attention with his measurements, Anthony Richardson made a big statement with his NFL scouting combine performance Saturday. The former University of Florida quarterback ranked first in his position in just about every category, according to NFL Research. At 6-foot-4 and 244 pounds, no other quarterback at Lucas Oil Stadium was taller or heavier than him. Then, he proceeded to lead the field in the 40-yard dash, vertical jump and broad jump. Blazing an unofficial 4.44 time, his run was later adjusted to an impressive and official 4.43. He didn't even need a second attempt. On the broadcast, Richardson was compared to Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen, who has a similar stature (6-4, 237 pounds) and ran a 4.75. Finally, his 10-foot-9-inch broad jump also set the top mark. Richardson's 10-yard split, 1.53 seconds, was the only mark he didn't lead, ranking third among QBs. He spent three seasons (one redshirt) with the Gators in his hometown of Gainesville. He started all 12 games for a 6-6 Florida team in 2022. The 21-year-old was 176-of-327 passing for 2,549 yards this past season, throwing for 17 touchdowns and nine interceptions while rushing for 654 yards and nine touchdowns. Richardson's collegiate showing led to mixed projections and he clearly took the extra time to prepare for his opportunity to answer. He reportedly impressed the Carolina Panthers in a meeting. Currently holding the ninth pick in the NFL Draft, the Panthers are among teams that could trade up aggressively for a long-term quarterback. Richardson might not come easy however, as he is already moving up in betting projections as a potential No. 1 pick.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
