Trent Richardson: “It’s very easy to get lazy in the NFL”

At Alabama, running back Trent Richardson was such a hard worker that the team’s strength coaches had to tell him to stop bench pressing 465 pounds for fear that he could strain something. In the NFL, Richardson didn’t work as hard.

Richardson, a free agent who is expected to sign with the Ravens, admits that he struggled to keep up his workout routines once he got to the NFL. In college his coaches always told him when to work out, and he thrived on that structure. But in the NFL, he was allowed to work out when he chose — and often he chose not to work out at all.

“It’s very easy to get lazy in the NFL — not having everything scheduled and not having everything like at Alabama where it was so structured,” Richardson told AL.com. “We had study hall or we had to get a workout in in between classes and had five classes a day. It was just so structured. In the NFL, everything’s on your own.”

When the Ravens first talked to Richardson, he weighed 238 pounds, and they told him they want him lighter than that before they’re going to sign him. Richardson said he’s been working hard and is now down to 218, even lighter than when he was at Alabama. If he can get into top shape, there’s a chance that he may be able to get back on the field this year, and change his reputation as a college star who could never make it in the NFL.

Earlier this month, Colts linebacker D’Qwell Jackson was found guilty of a misdemeanor charge related to an altercation with a pizza delivery driver in Washington, D.C. in February 2015.

Jackson faced up to six months in jail as a result of the conviction, but he avoided any time behind bars when the sentence was handed down on Friday. Stephen Holder of the Indianapolis Star reports that Jackson was fined $1,000.

Jackson’s lawyer David Schertler confirmed the penalty and said that the judge in the case did not feel Jackson’s conduct warranted a stricter sentence. Jackson said after the verdict that he was “surprised and disappointed” and planned to appeal the charge.

Jackson was accused of punching the delivery driver twice during a dispute over a parking place. He could face further discipline from the league under the NFL’s personal conduct policy and is facing a civil suit from the driver.

{sigh}

Trent, if you're not motivated to better yourself, the NFL isn't for you. McDonald's always be hiring.

What? No Johnny Manziel news?? The media is slacking.

This can't be fact.. Can't be.. Impossible. Gotta be made up..., Everyone knows that when a player leaves here, he goes on to have a fantastic career..

At least Ward got a ring.. Glad for him.

Trent Richardson is done in the NFL. Although I suppose his legs are still fairly fresh. (running backs have very short nfl career expectancies.)

TR = no suprise

DQ well I have to believe something was wrong on the drivers part since he has always been on the straight and narrow. I have never know DQ to be a liar and I won't believe it now without some proof

Man, what is it with football players and pizza incidents lately? Every year it seems like there's a new pizza incident. This year we already have Brock and DQ pushing people over some pizza. Honestly, it's pretty weird.

Kinda cheesy, if you ask me.

Players these days certainly don't show having a thick crust.

That's a bit over-the-toppings, don't you think?

Those ex-browns are falling like Dominos.

I imagine D'Qwell hit the pizza delivery guy 6-7 yards downfield

Nice pizza puns...but they all have poor delivery.
