LeGarrette Blount: 'Trent Richardson can still be a success in the NFL'

New England Patriots running back LeGarrette Blount is adamant that Trent Richardson can still become a quality back in the NFL despite the early struggles in his career.

New England Patriots running back LeGarrette Blount has insisted that Trent Richardson can still become a quality player in the NFL.

The Indianapolis Colts back has struggled immensely in his three years in the league, and especially since joining the club from the Cleveland Browns in the 2013 campaign after being traded for a first-round Draft pick.

However, Blount feels that the 23-year-old still has the ability to thrive in the league which saw the Browns use the third pick in the 2012 Draft to select Richardson out of the Alabama Crimson Tide.

"I mean, he's still a young buck, man. He's still young," Blount told NFL Network. "I feel like he's a real good running back, but I feel like when I watch him play, I just think he has to be a little bit more decisive.

"He's a bigger kid than what most people think, and he's strong, look at his legs, you know what I'm saying? Just look at how he's built.

"As long as he just find that little crease and know that this is not Alabama, and you don't have the big, open holes like you had at Alabama, and you find those little creases, and you get downhill, and get into 'em, he'll be a problem on the second and third level for a lot of teams."

Richardson was inactive for his side's playoff matches against the Denver Broncos and the New England Patriots.
