Captain America – Anthony Richardson, QB, Florida

Because of his otherworldly body type, Anthony Richardson could fit as several different MCU characters. However, the most obvious one to me is America’s First Avenger himself — Captain America. Before Sam Wilson took the reigns, Steve Rodgers was once a lowly, forgotten-about soldier headed to war. Then the super soldier serum trials took place… and well, the rest is history.

Anthony Richardson looks like he was born in a vat of super soldier serum. At 6-foot-4 and 244 pounds, the Florida quarterback is capable of running through a defender, jumping over them, or blazing right past them with minimal effort. Richardson can throw the ball to outer space. He is a proven leader with all the necessary traits to lead his team vs. other freaks of nature in the NFL. Expect to hear Richardson’s name early in the 2023 NFL Draft.
