A throwback to the classic Las Vegas Raiders architype for a defensive back, Decamerion Richardson is indeed as fast as he is big. The fourth-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft brings 4.34 speed and a 6-foot-2 and 188-pound frame from Mississippi State.
Richardson, the 112th overall pick, brings something to the Raiders defensive back room that none of the other 10 cornerbacks on the roster can: That size-speed ratio.
That shouldn’t be a surprise, considering the 23-year-old was rated as the most athletic cornerback at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis.
