Even coming from a competitive collegiate conference like the SEC, Decamerion Richardson was always expected to have growing pains.
An ultra-athletic cornerback prospect from Mississippi State, the Las Vegas Raiders selected Richardson in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL Draft (112th overall) as the 23-year-old possessed the ideal traits of a tall, long, and fast defender that was a throwback to the old-school Silver & Black.
Measuring in at 6-foot-2 and 188 pounds at the NFL Combine, Richardson clocked a 4.34 40-yard dash at the event and showcased arms over 32-inches long highlighting the athleticism-size that put him amongst the best in the class in that regard.
