Richardson will prob hit street free/clear.. talk about a guy who's career could use revival.. the big 3rd down back that gets a yard 'n moves the chains our O needs
He shows zilch every week. The good player in college has become a big dud. Maybe Saban squeezed all the juice out of him in Alabama, but I wouldn't go near him.Richardson will prob hit street free/clear.. talk about a guy who's career could use revival.. the big 3rd down back that gets a yard 'n moves the chains our O needs

The Colts will almost surely release him before next year. You've got to wonder at this point how much longer Richardson's career will last. He's still a good blocker and a conscientious, good locker room type. That might sustain him at a league minimum type salary. But he seems destined to end up one of the busts of the decade and one of the bigger running back busts of all time. Curtis Enis is a name that comes to mind, the old Penn State curse when a great OL made a series of running backs look better than they were.
I still think Richardson has a shot to make an impact in the NFL. He needs to slim down and regain that explosiveness. He never looked so square at Alabama. He looks like he's about 230, and at his height, he should get down to the 210-215 range.
His issue is his vision, or extreme lack of....he will be out of the league in a year.
It's an issue, but that was never a great aspect of his game. People compared him to Adrian Peterson, because he displayed great burst coming out of Alabama. Since joining the NFL, he's shown none of it, and he's much wider. I don't think his loss of explosion as a coincidence or some strange occurrence. He looks like a bowling ball.
Forget the plays, but just look at his physique in this highlight. He's not skinny, but he's much thinner - doesn't look like he's as wide as he is tall. I'd be all over Trent Richardson for the right price, and I'd tell him to get down to 215. At 5'9, he shouldn't be 230.
