Trent Richardson Says He's Received Calls to Play in NFL, XFL After AAF Folded

A strong showing with the Birmingham Iron of the now-defunct Alliance of American Football has perhaps given running back Trent Richardson's football career new life.

In an interview with the Pensacola News Journal's Eric J. Wallace on Tuesday, Richardson revealed that he has received interest from both the NFL and the XFL after the AAF folded earlier this year:

"I've gotten a few phone calls, but you never know about the NFL. Hopefully I put enough out there to show I can still move and play. I'm doing this for myself and my kids.
