Title: Trent Richardson got the respect he and other RBs wanted; now has to prove it Post by: Catch Prothro on April 27, 2012, 08:38:37 PM http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2012/04/column_trent_richardson_got_th.html
Quote When he spoke after his Pro Day -- the one in which he leveled his future running backs coach -- Alabama's Trent Richardson served as the unofficial spokesman for the Union of Disrespected Running Backs. He'd done his homework. He heard all about how the "franchise running back" had become a thing of the past. He'd seen all the late-round or undrafted running backs prove that winning teams didn't need a big name lined up behind a star quarterback. He was sick of it. "We need to be up there high," Richardson said. "A lot of teams try to beat up on us a lot of times. When it comes down to it, I think they're going to need us early in our career." As it turned out, Richardson was more than the right guy to deliver that message.
