Numerous NFL scouts have told us he is the best running back they have ever evaluated.

PROJECTED: Top-five overall
 
Richardson continues to play better and better, especially over the past month.

What makes him so special is that for such a physical runner, he has rare foot quickness and agility to change directions in a flash.

That allows him to make an explosive jump-cut to get to backside holes with remarkable ease.

When you add in Richardson’s ability as a receiver out of the backfield and his violence and competitiveness in pass protection, you have the complete back.

There is nothing I can add to that comment. It tells you everything you need to know.

Interesting that Jeffrey's stock has fallen. I really thought he would be the 2nd best WR in the draft behind Blackmon. He might be better off coming back for his sr season. And I am also wondering if Dre might be better served by coming back as well. He might be a first roun pick, but then again he might not be. Another year of seasoning would help him immensely.

If he is that high, then I would wish him well in making his choice. RTR!
