Indianapolis Colts RB Trent Richardson plans on spending the offseason studying the playbook and learning the system. “Learn the system, not just memorizing it,” Richardson said. “Learning the whole concept of the system. There’s a difference between having it memorized and feeling comfortable with the system. I’m going talk to a lot of veteran players, talk to Adrian (Peterson), talk to (LaDainian Tomlinson), talk to Emmitt Smith to make sure I’m the best I need to be next year.”
Footballguys View: We’ve learned from guys like Ryan Mathews, Donald Brown and Knowshon Moreno that it’s unwise to write off a first-round running back too early in his career. Richardson has the natural talent to be a great all-around back. He needs to run with better determination if he wants to start playing up to his potential.
