Antonio Richardson is a mammoth offensive tackle who was a two-time second-team All-SEC selection at Tennessee. He helped the Volunteers rush for 2,261 yards in 2013, which was their highest rushing total in nine years. He has tremendous potential that is as big as his overall size.
Richardson decided to forgo his senior season in order to enter the 2014 NFL Draft and was one of five Tennessee players invited to the NFL Combine. Many projections had him being selected somewhere in the first four rounds, but questions about his commitment and ability to work on his technique seemed to weigh heavily on his draft stock.
“Tiny” Richardson must prove he can improve his play and work harder to use his mind to work in tandem with his incredible size and considerable strength. If he can put it all together, he can become a steal for the Minnesota Vikings.
