Jake Query of 1075 The Fan broke a story on his radio show about how Richardson left a lasting impact on NFL Executive Vice President of Football Operations Troy Vincent at NFL Rookie Orientation.

Everyone was leaving and Troy Vincent saw a person left behind and clearing the tables, before the staff returned. to the room. Vincent walked over and walked over to him and said, ‘You don’t need to do this.’ To which Anthony Richardson replied, ‘We left this room in an unacceptable condition and it’s not right for us to expect staff to clean it up. clean».
“Vincent said that Richardson told him he was free to go to which Richardson basically said, ‘No, it’s fine. I’d like to stay and help.’ And she did until the room was completely cleaned. And she was the last person who worked together with the workers on the shift.
