Title: Trent Richardson embraces leadership role at Alabama Post by: pmull on August 25, 2011, 08:01:05 AM Hyped as everything from a preseason All-American to a Heisman Trophy candidate, Richardson is the leader of the running backs for plenty of reasons.
Last year, he rushed for 700 yards and six touchdowns despite missing two games with a knee injury. He had a career high 6.25 yards per carry -- fifth best all-time for a single season at Alabama. He carries a reputation for being one of the hardest workers on the team. So naturally, teammates look to him for guidance. "He's always been a good leader, a hard worker and a guy that affects other people because of the kind of person that he is," Saban said. "Now that his circumstances have changed, and he can be the lead dog at running back, that doesn't really create a new person. "He's always been a good player because of who he is." http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2011/08/trent_richardson_embraces_lead.html Title: Re: Trent Richardson embraces leadership role at Alabama Post by: 2Stater on August 25, 2011, 08:10:24 AM Hyped as everything from a preseason All-American to a Heisman Trophy candidate, Richardson is the leader of the running backs for plenty of reasons.

I look for TR to have some good long runs this year. About every team is going to stack the box against us this year. For those times when he pops out the other side, he's gone.

She mentioned all the birthday cards CNS received, that he really got a kick out of them. His birthday is on Halloween.
