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.
San Francisco 49ers Superstar Wide Receiver Reveals The Team Almost Traded Him After Their Super Bowl Loss

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel has revealed the team has made attempts to trade him since its Super Bowl loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in February.
Samuel hasn’t signed a contract extension with the team since 2022 and has two seasons left on his deal. The wideout is poised to have a reported $28.6 million cap hit this season and is looking for the team to show some commitment to him amid the rife trade rumors he has been a subject of this offseason.
The Niners are under no obligation to open contract talks with the All-Pro this year as he’s under contract through 2025, but he reckons he has done enough to warrant a long-term deal.
Unfortunately, Samuel isn’t among the team’s top priorities. The 49ers just handed running back Christian McCaffrey a two-year extension to the tune of $38 million. They are also keen to wrap up talks with Brandon Aiyuk, their preferred receiver of the two, while Brock Purdy has proven he deserves to be among the highest-paid quarterbacks in the NFL.

Deebo Samuel Reveals Contract Talks
San Francisco’s lack of urgency is understandable, but it appears they were looking to trade him earlier in the season. The player disclosed this week that his agent was already in the process of discussing a contract with another team.

“Yeah, I heard [the trade rumors]. Had a conversation with my agent about it. They was going back and forth with whoever it was,” he told reporters on Tuesday, per 49erswebzone. “It was a thing at first, but we done moved past it. So we here, and we here to get better.”
Deebo Samuel didn’t reveal the other party but there were reports of the Pittsburgh Steelers vying for his services. The New England Patriots were also reported to have an interest.
It would appear that talks fell through. Deebo Samuel either couldn’t get the contract he wanted, or the San Francisco 49ers couldn’t get the desired terms.
Either way, they are moving forward.
