My Take
What stays with me about Daryl Richardson is the climb. A seventh-round pick out of Abilene Christian, drafted by the Rams in 2012, he is the kind of running back who had to earn every yard and every roster spot the hard way. I have a soft spot for athletes from smaller programs who force their way into the NFL on grit rather than hype. At 185 cm and built to take contact, he represents the unglamorous backbone of football: the guys whose names you have to look up, but who made it to the highest level anyway. That quiet persistence is what I respect most.
