Alabama running back Trent Richardson deals with everything the same way -- head on.

That goes for linebackers, interview questions and the perception that running backs are no longer important.

Few running backs have been drafted early in recent years as the league has shifted to a running back-by-committee approach with specialists. The 225-pound Richardson believes he is the every-down back who can take the position back to the way they used to be.

“We’re getting pounded every down,” he said Friday at the NFL combine. “Everybody needs a running back and everybody’s got to use that running back. The value of a running back is not the same, and it’s crazy to us.”
