ESPN to release feature on RB Trent Richardson this weekend

He wants to prove to everyone – especially himself – that he can play the game he loves at an elite level, and many are excited to see the transformation of Trent Richardson.

A native of Pensacola, Fla., Richardson was a five-star athlete from Escambia High School — who chose to attend the University of Alabama in 2009. His ability to read and press the hole, vision as a running back, and power after contact made him a fan favorite in Tuscaloosa, Ala.

During his three seasons (2009-11) with the Crimson Tide, Richardson recorded 3,130 rushing yards with 35 touchdowns on 540 carries.
