By Austin Gayle
  • Recording 31 quarterback hurries, seven sacks and three quarterback hits, Minnesota’s Steven Richardson ranked No. 3 among returning Power 5 defensive tackles with 41 total pressures.
  • Richardson also ranked No. 3 among returning Power 5 defensive tackles with at least 300 pass-rush snaps in pass-rush productivity (8.5).
  • What will keep Richardson out of the first-round conversation is his inability to finish in the run game if he can’t improve in that regard next season. He ranked No. 101 in the 2018 draft class in run stop percentage (5.8).

Safety worth way more than 2 points. Help protect your family with fast, free will.
