Anthony Richardson Credits Mom LaShawnda Lane Cleare Ahead Of NFL Draft

Anthony Richardson parents are LaShawnda (mother) and Richardson Sr (dad). They have been separated while he was growing up. 

Richardson was raised by LaShawnda and uncle Jobbin Tanka. 

Anthony started playing football at age 3 in Miami, Florida. His uncle Jobbin introduced him to game and taught him to throw the ball. 

Richardson's mother LaShawnda used to play with him, and one day Anthony threw the ball at his grandmother's window.

While Lane said Anthony threw the ball, his grandma yelled at her for doing so and he didn't believe her. At that point, Jobbin sat against the wall as usual and asked Richardson to throw the ball again.

Tanka then told LaShawnda to concentrate on Richardson's studies while he looked after his sports part.

Richardson's father is involved in his upbringing, but his parents are divorced. According to Florida Gators, Anthony is in contact with his dad but LaShawnda has played an important role in his life. 

When he was six years old, his uncle Jobbin passed away, and he chose to ink the name of Lane as a tattoo to remember Lane's life. As his uncle was lion-hearted, he got a lion tattooed on his right forearm. 

Anthony stated that because of Tanka he had pursued his football career and is the man of his family. As an older brother raised by a single mother, he showed his maturity quickly.

LaShawnda Lane Cleare raised her son Anthony alone after uncle Tanka passed away. LaShawnda graduated from Santa Fe College. 

After separating from her first husband, she looked after kids needs. She has always encouraged and supported Anthony in achieving his career goal. 

With support and encouragement, Anthony made his entry in the NFL draft. When Anthony was asked about the plan for his mother with his first NFL paycheck, he stated that his mom didn't want him to do anything for him.

In an interview with Hightop Sports, she talked about Anthony and his career. Growing up in Miami he moved to Gainesville for a quality life for her sons and worked two to three jobs. 

As Anthony has made a name for himself in college, he has made his uncle and mother LaShawnda proud. On the occasion of Mother's Day, he tweeted with wishes on May 12, 2019. 

LaShawnda married Ferrell Cleare on June 19, 2021 at C Bar Ranch and Organics. She has shared pictures with Frrell on her Facebook account.

Anthony is close to his step dad Ferrell. The family enjoy holidays and festivals with dinners and gatherings.

Anthony Richardson has one brother named Corey Richardson. Corey was born in Tennessee and grew up in Miami. 

Richardson used to take care of his brother's food, and he got him dressed for school because his mother was busy with her works. 

When Anthony used to walk around with his little mountain bikes, Corey was on the handlebars. He has looked after his brother and he stated that his brother is like a son to him. 

He is happy to have Corey in his life and is eager to achieve their goals. The brothers are featured on LaShawnda's social media account.
