Pros

Cons

Overall

Look at the positives for Richardson. Great size, speed, power, agility, and is a 3 down back. What more could you ask for out of a Running Back? It's very hard to find weaknesses in Richardson's game, and I have zero doubt that this guy will be an elite Running Back at the next level. I absolutely love watching Richardson run, as he is one of the most physical, and powerful running backs I have ever seen. He is an in-between the tackles runner, who loves contact, as he will lower his shoulder, and more often that not is the one delivering the hit, not the defender. And then you add in that he has 4.4 speed, and it's really not fair, just ask Senquez Golson (Can never watch that replay too many times!). He also excels in blitz pickup, can catch the ball, has a high football IQ, and has never been hurt. I don't mean to just gush over the guy, but these are the facts, he is this good. Richardson has the talent to be a future Hall of Fame Running Back just as long as he stays healthy.
