Indianapolis Colts second-year quarterback Anthony Richardson recently received a new tattoo that was so massive that he had to go to sleep for seven hours.
Anthony Richardson was drafted fourth overall by the Colts last year. Unfortunately, a series of injuries (including season-ending shoulder surgery) limited the Florida product to four games in his rookie season.
As Richardson works his way back from injury, the 22-year-old also decided to treat himself to a giant back tattoo this offseason. The tattoo was so big that he had to be put to sleep for seven hours.
During his appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show”, Anthony Richardson revealed that his new back tattoo took seven hours.
“People aren’t gonna like the fact that I went to sleep, but I’ve been getting tattoos since I was 13. So I’ve did my time in going through pain.”
Here’s a look at the tattoo:

Richardson showed promise in the four contests he played last year, completing 59.5 percent of pass attempts for 577 yards, three touchdowns and one interception along with 136 rushing yards and four rushing scores.
Despite not having Richardson for most of the season, the Colts finished 9-8 and nearly qualified for the postseason, losing a win-or-go-home Week 18 home contest to the Houston Texans.
The Colts open their 2024 season with a home tilt against Houston on Sept. 8.
Anthony Richardson & Colts Are A Sleeper Team Entering 2024
You won’t see folks grouping the Colts with top AFC heavyweights in the Kansas City Chiefs, Cincinnati Bengals, Baltimore Ravens or Texans, but this is not a club to sleep on heading into 2024.
The Colts have one of football’s best front sevens, an elite offensive line and a great set of offensive weapons led by Jonathan Taylor, Michael Pitmman Jr., Josh Downs and rookie Adonai Mitchell.
Indianapolis likely would have been a playoff club last year if they had Richardson starting the majority of games over Gardner Minshew II. As long as the second-year quarterbacks stays healthy, the Colts could easily re-emerge as a playoff team in the crowded AFC.
