The Seattle Seahawks' offense during Richardson's tenure (2014-2017) was primarily a run-heavy, play-action based scheme that valued receivers who could win downfield.
As a rookie, Richardson projects as a rotational deep threat, eventually developing into a starting X-receiver in a vertical offense.
A possession-based West Coast or Air Raid system relying on short-to-intermediate volume makes poor use of Richardson's vertical skillset.
Richardson's 4.4 forty speed and ability to stretch the field align well with the Seahawks' historically run-heavy, play-action oriented offense.
Selected #45 overall in Round 2 of the 2014 NFL Draft by Seattle Seahawks out of Colorado.
