We conclude this mini-series of NFL Combine primers with offensive lineman Asim Richards, who’ll be part of the last group to check in to Indianapolis. Richards’ ascent to draftable status was significantly more surprising than that of his three teammates in Indy, but his play in 2022 absolutely deserved it and he’s got a good chance to be the second Tar Heel drafted, following in the footsteps of former linemates Joshua Ezeudu and Marcus McKethan.
Summary:
Richards, a part-time offensive lineman and part-time tight end in high school, was probably thrust into a starting role at left tackle for UNC before he was really ready for it.
