Having spent a year in the NFL, Anthony Richardson has his entire career in front of him, and his fiancee, Jada, is standing strong next to him. While the Colts’ quarterback keeps his personal life private, Jada has shared the announcement through social media.
Jada posted a photograph of her and Richardson captioned, “mommy and fiancée.” Richardson’s fiancee also showed off her glittery engagement ring, and Richardson proposed with it.

Richardson to taste glory with fatherhood
Jada has been standing rock-solid next to Richardson, and the couple has come a long way from being high school lovers. Richardson was drafted as the 4th overall pick in the last season. However, in the 5th week of his rookie season, he suffered an AC joint sprain, causing him to miss the playoffs. But that doesn’t mean that the Colts failed to see Richardson’s full potential. Talking about the upcoming draft, General Manager Chris Ballard appreciated their rookie QB.
“I’ve got a pretty good handle on the NFL Draft; and we do think it’s going to be pretty good with some explosive guys and then working through free agency right now, we’re just kind of finishing it up,” the GM said. “We do think there is going to be some opportunities to add some players to make us more explosive.”
