How come he never has issues while at Alabama with vision as soon as he gets to Cleveland he goes blind?


A variety of factors. I think one of the most common, especially with players coming out of Alabama, is the lack of a regimented schedule. As a player you are tightly controlled by the coaching staff in Tuscaloosa. Once you turn pro you are expected to do all of that stuff yourself. There are moments where a player forgets he's a paid professional and simply spends his time spending his new found millions on bling, girls, and cars.

I used to work with someone who is very close to Trent and his family, and yeah, he basically didn't surround himself with good, constructive people, and also never let a leg injury fully heal between college and pro.

Trent is a good dude though, comes from very humble beginnings. He was working for a customer of ours helping with university covid testing throughout the state a few months ago.

So he can add being cut from the practice squad of a team in Mexico to his resume?

Serious question, is all his money gone?

Trent Richardson Net Worth
Richardson made more than $18 million in the NFL. Today, he's worth about $6 million, per Celebrity Net Worth.Nov 19, 2020

I suspect Fred Levin helped him invest some of it.

Bottomline: Don't feel sorry for him. He's worth more than me, or you.

Blew through 2/3 of it in a hurry, hope he's smarter with the rest. Didn't he come out and say something about having people stealing from him or something a few years back?

I don't think it's a lack of ability that cut his NFL career short, he was solid his first couple years, I think it was the NFL rule change that outlawed his running style

He ought to do fine down there. He doesn't need holes if he can just run over the defender. Mexicans are a smaller people.
