Schemes that emphasize a power run game with inside zone and gap plays will maximize Richardson's bruising running style and ability to break tackles.
Immediate starter as a primary ball-carrier, with a ceiling to be a Pro Bowl caliber feature back capable of 25+ touches per game.
A pass-heavy Air Raid offense that primarily utilizes scat backs and demands extensive route running from the running back position.
Richardson's blend of size, speed, and contact balance makes him a strong fit for a downhill power running scheme where he can consistently attack the line of scrimmage.
Selected #3 overall in Round 1 of the 2012 NFL Draft by Cleveland Browns out of Alabama.
