Saskatchewan Roughriders running back Trent Richardson told reporters his goals for his return to football on Saturday afternoon are "personal," declining to reveal what he hoped to do against the Toronto Argonauts in his first Canadian Football League game.
In talking about his first game since playing for the Oakland Raiders in an NFL preseason contest on Aug. 30, 2015, Richardson made the experience seem deeply personal.
"It's going to mean a lot," Richardson said. "With everything that has been going on in my life, including my kids and stuff, we have went through a lot and to be able to get back out there -- people said I couldn't do it or people were always doubting me.
