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.

One other thing about Richardson is the Number 3, his playing number and draft number.
