Scouting Report: Strengths
  • Does a good job getting his head around in time when playing with his back to the line of scrimmage. Has the ability to cover quickness underneath.
  • Has good football awareness to read and react quickly and stay balanced and patient in space.
  • Good hustle player who puts himself in the action when he's not directly involved. Knows how to use his height and vertical leap.
  • Tracks the ball well and has the natural ball skills for forcing turnovers.
  • Closes to the ball quite well and possesses the hands to snatch throws away from his frame.
  • Good agility and balance when shadowing his target. Competitive player.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
  • Tends to play conservatively and give too much cushion when playing off.
  • Opens his hips too early and allows himself to get turned around in coverage.
  • Feet aren’t ideal, as Richardson gets sloppy in his backpedal and can be sluggish when transitioning to close on the ball.

*Percentile Ranking in Player's Position Group (NFL Combine Historical Data): This percentile reflects how a player's specific statistics rank in comparison to historical performances at the NFL Combine, specifically within their position group. A higher percentile indicates a better performance. For instance, being in the 90th percentile for a particular stat means the player outperformed 90% of their peers in that category.

*Similarity Percentage: This percentage is calculated based on a comprehensive analysis of various factors, including height, weight, 40-yard dash times, on-field performance statistics, and overall player rating. The analysis is conducted against our database of draft prospects from 2021 to 2023. This similarity score helps in evaluating how closely a current prospect aligns with past prospects. It is important to note, however, that this score reflects similarities based on college production and attributes, and does not account for eventual success or performance in the NFL.
