Free Agent File: Running Back Trent Richardson

After stops in Cleveland and Indianapolis, the former first-round draft pick joined the Oakland Raiders as a free agent in March.

Where He’s Been

After a dominant 2011 season with the Alabama Crimson Tide that saw him rush for 1,679 yards and score 21 touchdowns on the ground, the Cleveland Browns selected Richardson in the first round (No. 3 overall) of the 2012 NFL Draft.

Richardson proceeded to turn in an impressive rookie campaign, starting 15 games for Cleveland and rushing for 950 yards. However, in 2013 he only appeared in two games for the Browns in before being traded to the Indianapolis Colts in exchange for a first-round selection in the 2014 NFL Draft.
