As an undrafted free agent in 2016, Jalen Richard took the league by storm. His elusiveness and ability to hit the home run play was a steal for the silver and black. With Richard the Raiders running attack became a three headed monster, which was astonishing to see considering the Raiders struggle at getting quality depth at any position.
Richard was a fantastic rotational running back to up the tempo for the offense. “Rocket Richard” is what some started referring him to because he would hit the hole like a rocket. However, like a rocket Jalen Richard came crashing down in 2017.
