Richardson is coming off a sophomore season that saw him throw 17 touchdown passes and rush for nine scores. The dual-threat quarterback has the type of skill-set that really intrigues NFL scouts, though he has yet to show the sort of consistency that would make him look like a slam-dunk prospect.
The sophomore quarterback did not exactly end his career on a high note, as he noted when brushing aside draft questions before. He will now have the offseason to convince NFL teams that he is worth using a first-round pick on.
