Richardson offers exceptional speed and athleticism, but isn’t exactly the biggest receiver. He weighed in at a slightย 175 pounds, so it will be interesting to see what kind of role he’ll have with the Seahawks in the coming years.

It’s worth mentioning that Richardsonย suffered multiple knee tears during his college career. However, he totaled 156 receptions for 2,412 yards receiving and 21 touchdowns at Colorado.
