I talked with Trent about 5 yrs ago when he was playing for Birmingham,he is a really nice guy ,it's hard to accept that someone who you care about will take advantage of you ,Trent certainly has recovered from that much better than I did .I loved watching thunder and lighting in the backfield
Yes and that hole gets a lot smaller in the NFL rather than in college. NFL running back once told me that in NFL you have to make your own hole rather than in college where there is a view in NFL it’s generally not there. With DB’s so big and running that fast it gets much harder. I can’t imagine.
I could care less what anyone thinks or says...Trent Richardson is one of the greatest RB'S in Bama history...Hes a great representative of the University of Alabama & im damn well proud of him...One of my favorite players ever
This reminds me of a story my gramps told me. He was working as a salesman selling stereos at a store in Akron during the late 80s early 90s. He comes in one day and a young guy who works there just put in his two weeks. My old man asks why because the guy is young, black, not from money and he'd never mentioned looking for other work. Turns out his brother played running back at Michigan and got drafted, I believe in the first round and he was gonna be his "assistant. Idk who drafted him but the guy blew out his knee and that was all she wrote. Idk if he even made it to the start of the season. Roy Jones Jr. And Emmit Smith are also from Pensacola
Trent was an AMAZING KID, i had the pleasure of watching him play at Myrtle Grove, HE WAS A BEAST.. and one of the best kids ever, humble, polite, and respectful. He never complained and always does what's best for others, never putting himself ahead of those who are less fortunate. I wish him everything, again amazing person.
I’m watching this great video and then I realize Matt is playing Highschoool teams from Plano Tx where I live that’s crazy…. Plano West, East, and Plano Central team in this video
Trent really is a genuine person, he's very sweet and goofy as hell sometimes. He's focused but not aggressively, he's just a natural at anything HE sets his mind too. Lets Go Gators!!
One of the things that always pissed me off about this situation was that it wasn't just Trent, the teams he was on were dogshit. Everyone loved to laugh at Trent missing holes, but never wanted to talk about the Colts OL not doing their job half the time. Or the Browns just being terrible and trading him for no real reason. Just sucked seeing one of my favorite players get shafted on and off the field. We were robbed of seeing a great.
Trent was spectacular. His family was a big problem. He let them run over him. When Cleveland traded him, how they traded him, really shook his confidence. He was never the same. Too bad.
We need a MattBePodcasting with some college athletes. Great perspective on athlete mindset and laidback personality would be a good fit for interviewing, and you’ve already proven you can do the research
I think it all went south because he was drafted by Cleveland. If Tom, Brady had gone to Cleveland instead of the Patriots...there would be no such thing as Tom Brady. I was just thinking about him. The knock was that he wasn't hitting the gaps like he should. I saw him play when he was with the Titans, I couldn't understand why he was juking and jiving so much. He was STOP running and go into the micro dance routine, the pocket would collapse and the LB would close the gap and get the tackle. I'm thinking it was a confidence thing because he has EVER skill to have been one of the greats.
Every SEC school that I know of always uses a RB tandom scheme. Don't see that changing anytime soon because they don't want to get caught with their pants down with the huge potential of injury
Trent Richardson family didn’t help but what hurt Richardson in the pros was where he ended up. The Cleveland browns offensive line was garbage and he still rushed for nearly 1000 yards in his first season, then he gets traded to the colts and his carries are cut in half. The poor guy got screwed over from day 1.
I thought he got to stocky and he was real choppy with his footwork but in the NFL it’s quick burst and hit the hole quickly. He just didn’t look right in Cleveland
Trent Richardson, Mark Ingram, Eddie Lacy, Bama always has backs that dominate in College but usually don't dominate in the NFL. Ingram had a good career but Richardson and Lacy didn't work out in the NFL.
Trent is related to my blood cousin demand Richardson. You can look up research or whatever you need but, my cousin and his dads dude if the family, the Richardsons, had a reunion January 13th and Trent was supposed to come but never came. From what I accurately know he’s either probably staying in Texas or California
Yeah I thought he was a lock to be a great running back...but then I remember games are always and I mean always won in the trenches the team with the best O & D line usually wins
Glad he's in a better place now, but I was never really a fan, he just didn't see holes very well to me. He really needed a very good offensive line, he couldn't create holes like Ingram and Lacy.
Trent, like Ricky William's was known to be a huge pot head. That's a recipe for disaster in sports. If you are a good player while high, this only means you would be GREAT while straight.
Trent Richardson is the best. He visited my nephew in the Children's Hospital in Birmingham but he visited my family before my nephew passed with cancer. He is totally awesome with a huge heart!!👍💯💯
Richardson was always one of the most puzzling busts. I thought he would be a stud in the NFL and it just never materialized. I love to hate on Bama as a Tennessee fan, but damn it was fun watching the Bama run game on those early Saban teams from Ingram through Lacy, and Richardson was the best of them. That was the way football should be played - a couple of studs at RB behind a big O-line imposing their will, a decent QB throwing to some big, fast WRs, and a juggernaut defense. I know the 2011 team wasn't undefeated with that close loss to LSU, but I'd put it up there among the top 5 college teams of all time. They'd absolutely compete with 95' Nebraska, 01' Miami, the best of those USC teams, 18' Clemson, and 19' LSU. I'd give anything to see the contrasting styles of 2011 Bama against 2019 LSU and see who comes out on top.
If Trent Richarson was a puzzling bust then so was T Martin. The Vols never smelled a chip after him. Rbs just dont.cut.it in the league anymore then or now. Roll Tide!!!
He’s a hometown hero of mine down in Pensacola. Met him a couple times and as a bama alum he’s unusually nice since I’m sure he gets this shit all the time
He might get this sh1t from time to time, but im pretty sure that he could give a damn what some idiot total stranger that likely got cut from the JV-squad as a Senior in high school...He was DOMINANT while playing for Bama...And I'm extremely proud of him, & always will be.
He was drafted by the Browns, that’s what killed him. The bodies of promising young players that have been tossed onto the ash heap of history from Cleveland could fill a stadium.
Can honestly say I’m happy for Richardson to be in the spot he’s in now, after everything he went thru, most people would’ve went off the deep end and especially with money that he had, some people stories of them getting taken advantage of by close friends n family end in tragedy like them turning into junkies, or offing themselves, just glad he learned from it and got better from it.
yep thats what charles barkley said, people came out of the wood works after his money, he said you GOT TO SAY NO, because these people will hound you till your broke
And honestly, his big heart that got his money tied up is on a whole nother level of poverty you can't live with your family like that, loving them while struggling with them so badly day in & day out, and think about devastatingly leaving them in that alone, especially when you're the only person that made it out. But you're right, its something I'm thinking about before I reach major success, so I appreciate the universe guiding me here to this video. Help with extra maybe, in reasonable ways, but don't be their solution. Trent has a saying now, You are your way out, so are they with themselves. Much Love for the message. I love you Trent!! I knew he was a me in high school and he was definitely gonna make it, even though I didn't act like a desperate goofy, I always secretly supported that man. Prayer is everything.
He is currently the runningbacks coach at Hoover High in Birmingham, Alabama.
Indeed!
I talked with Trent about 5 yrs ago when he was playing for Birmingham,he is a really nice guy ,it's hard to accept that someone who you care about will take advantage of you ,Trent certainly has recovered from that much better than I did .I loved watching thunder and lighting in the backfield
Just to clarify - Money is not the root of all evil. It is actually, the love of money is the root of all evil.
Nah just be humble and understand what it was like without money
Don’t you think people know that?
I say this on a daily basis! It's the greed!
It's actually what you do to get it especially if it violate the Rights of others
Apparently not
Most runningbacks are a product of their offensive line and that's what Trent Richardson found out in the nfl
Completely disagree with you. If you watched him run the ball he wasn't just running through big holes. His issues were all between the ears
Playing in the NFL is different from college because the linebacker fill those holes real quick
Still, its just crazy his talent didn't translate. He was awful
Yes and that hole gets a lot smaller in the NFL rather than in college. NFL running back once told me that in NFL you have to make your own hole rather than in college where there is a view in NFL it’s generally not there. With DB’s so big and running that fast it gets much harder. I can’t imagine.
thatscrap if so nobodywould pay for star rbs
Matt , I don't know what high school team you are showing us but I am more impressed with the center # 50 than I am with the running back #1 .
Guy had to play at the next level.
You are a goof . A straight up goof
Eagle ...rider? Hahaha haha goofy ass
That not Trent high school highlights 😂
Trent is the man, wish he played for the bham stallions, protective stadium would be packed, everyone here loves him
He played for the Birmingham Iron and the games weren't packed...
DEAR MOMMA DID NOT STEP IN & SAY ENOUGH IS ENOUGH SO NOBODY HAD TRENT RICHARDSON BEST INTREST AT HART
That’s because Momma had a poor-person mentality herself. 🤷🏾
Well...couldn't have been worse than Eddie ChinaFood Lacy 😂
No it’s cheeseburger Eddie come on now 😂
Whoa… cheeseburger Eddie was pretty good for 2.5 years. 😅
I could care less what anyone thinks or says...Trent Richardson is one of the greatest RB'S in Bama history...Hes a great representative of the University of Alabama & im damn well proud of him...One of my favorite players ever
I thought for sure your “fun fact” about Pensacola would have been that Emmitt Smith also played at Escambia.
This reminds me of a story my gramps told me. He was working as a salesman selling stereos at a store in Akron during the late 80s early 90s.

Before the league shut down, he was the league leading score in leading in yards

just got back from Pensacola for a family reunion and can confirm, it's a very very beautiful place
Man he went to the browns wea they had no kind of on-line then traded to da colts.. all that mess him up frfr
Man great video . Throw football out the window . Very thoughtful compliments for this man
the lack of money is the root of all evil.
Another sad story were your own family fuck him over. A damn shame sounds he made some bad money decisions. I hope Trent is doing better now.
Respect 💯
He would be a great addition for the USFL or XFL as a player if he's still interested in playing.
looks like he has put on a bunch of weight, i dont think he would like to train like you need to get in football shape plus he is around 32 years old
Poor Trent but he a legend nonetheless even if it’s just in College
The best RB in Alabama history
Derrick Henry?
Bobby Humphrey
Like most NFL players either a bust or broke before they are done playing. They call the NFL “Not For Long”
Trent was spectacular. His family was a big problem. He let them run over him. When Cleveland traded him, how they traded him, really shook his confidence. He was never the same. Too bad.
Trent is on the bama standard you tube channel time to time.
We need a MattBePodcasting with some college athletes.
Great perspective on athlete mindset and laidback personality would be a good fit for interviewing, and you’ve already proven you can do the research
He is a high school football coach at Hover high school.
Man Alabama line was so dominated and Mark Ingram do not deserve that heisman
He’s a big influencer now. His name is Hustle Cartel
Roll Tide Roll Keeping it's 💯 Always Family's 🙏 🙏 🙏 ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Great College RB Newest Hoover Bucs Coach
Is there a heaven for a G? The most gangsta thing you can do is to take care of your family.
He is a good player but just got used up in college and the next level requires just that bit more.
I think it all went south because he was drafted by Cleveland. If Tom, Brady had gone to Cleveland instead of the Patriots...there would be no such thing as Tom Brady.
I was just thinking about him. The knock was that he wasn't hitting the gaps like he should. I saw him play when he was with the Titans, I couldn't understand why he was juking and jiving so much.

I'm thinking it was a confidence thing because he has EVER skill to have been one of the greats.
Easy to figure out why he didn't make he played behind a great offensive line at Alabama so any medicare back would look great
Every SEC school that I know of always uses a RB tandom scheme. Don't see that changing anytime soon because they don't want to get caught with their pants down with the huge potential of injury
perfect spot for a “whooa, man oh man!”! 3:05
It was the curse of the browns.
I WOULD LOVE 2 ASK TRENT RICHARDSON WERE R THOSE FAMILY MEMBERS R AT NOW
Being drafted to the Cleveland Browns has ruined a lot of the careers of great football players
He’s not lying we all thought back then he was going to be a beast turned out to be 🗑️.
Trent Richardson family didn’t help but what hurt Richardson in the pros was where he ended up. The Cleveland browns offensive line was garbage and he still rushed for nearly 1000 yards in his first season, then he gets traded to the colts and his carries are cut in half.

Trent Richardson, Mark Ingram, Eddie Lacy, Bama always has backs that dominate in College but usually don't dominate in the NFL. Ingram had a good career but Richardson and Lacy didn't work out in the NFL.
And they followed up with Derrick Henry
I went to Eescbia fun fact Emmitt smith and Jakob Copland went there but those are not Richardson HS highlights
He sounds like a great guy. Wish he would have done better in the pros.
Trent is related to my blood cousin demand Richardson. You can look up research or whatever you need but, my cousin and his dads dude if the family, the Richardsons, had a reunion January 13th and Trent was supposed to come but never came. From what I accurately know he’s either probably staying in Texas or California
What a let down. RG3 won the Heisman. Trent should've won that year!
Matt I rock wit you but don't ever forget Lawrence Phillips from Nebraska I think he was better
U GO AROUND SOME BROKE PEOPLE U R GOING 2 BE BROKE 2
He couldn’t leave them pills along nickname is Tab Head
He spent too much ok his grandmother's house.
A House is not a investment, it's a Liability!
Buy land ,get Rich
@@dominicd7610 If you're living in it, it's a Liability not a investment
If it wasn’t dumb for Cleveland to pick him 3rd was it dumb for Dallas pick Ezekiel Elliot number 6 or NY picking Saqaun number 3??
Jim brown said that he didn't think he was that talented...
How if the money is in his account
Who’s that you’re showing run the ball in blue ? That’s not Trent 😂
Yeah I thought he was a lock to be a great running back...but then I remember games are always and I mean always won in the trenches the team with the best O & D line usually wins
I hate to here slick talking White People talking slick about Black People! The narrator should go and talk about White People!
Those highlights aren't of Trent
I’m 29 y / o and it’s not but one player that succeed as a Cleveland brown on that offense of line 😂
Damn.
Glad he's in a better place now, but I was never really a fan, he just didn't see holes very well to me. He really needed a very good offensive line, he couldn't create holes like Ingram and Lacy.
Vision and ball security are the most important attributes for a RB
Do a Michael Crabtree video
Cleveland running backs endure the curse of Jim Brown, noone will ever be better, just ask Bynum, heck ask Peyton HIllis (Madden curse btw).
He had like four kids in higshciol
We seen this story 100 times already. Get some newer content bro😂😂😂 throwback Matt. U must watch flemlo too
We just gonna pretend he wasn't a beast his rookie year?
His family ain’t do ish.
Jim Brown was right about Richardson
Ricky Williams
Didn’t he win rookie of the year
Even Bama players have problems,But EVERYONE wants to talk SHIT about Georgia, Y'all Alabama is so F**** Perfect😡
That took way too long to give zero info.
Trent looked like Jim Brown against the Giants, then disappeared
Tyrann Mathieu
Trent got scared 😅
i hate he got drafted to Cleveland they suck ot didn't help him
WELL W/ SOME OF THOSE GUYS ONCE THEY MADE IT THEY JUST SETTLE
You wanted chips? Not the body lice picked off family members and neighbors?
Most athletes are broke three years out of the league
- do your homework dude
He didn’t have good ball kill your vision
Trent, like Ricky William's was known to be a huge pot head. That's a recipe for disaster in sports. If you are a good player while high, this only means you would be GREAT while straight.
Ricky did pretty well
First
Black culture straight up....like Deon sanders and Jackson state University

From what I’m told he went to bama simply because he knew he had to go somewhere important so he could look after the kids he had in high school
He might get this sh1t from time to time, but im pretty sure that he could give a damn what some idiot total stranger that likely got cut from the JV-squad as a Senior in high school...He was DOMINANT while playing for Bama...And I'm extremely proud of him, & always will be.
Trent just took a job coaching at Hoover High School
My nephew went to school there roll tide roll 😊
He was drafted by the Browns, that’s what killed him. The bodies of promising young players that have been tossed onto the ash heap of history from Cleveland could fill a stadium.
NUFF SAID.
@@ThomasDickson3 your damn right. I could have stopped after the word “ Cleveland”
Nick Chubb
Exactly
He was ok in Cleveland. He fell apart in Indy.
This needs to serve a lesson to all future NFL prospects what can happen if you don't have a good manager to guard your money!
And someone to watch that person and probably someone else to watch them too unfortunately
Can honestly say I’m happy for Richardson to be in the spot he’s in now, after everything he went thru, most people would’ve went off the deep end and especially with money that he had, some people stories of them getting taken advantage of by close friends n family end in tragedy like them turning into junkies, or offing themselves, just glad he learned from it and got better from it.

Trent is a down to earth super nice guy. Spent time with him last year at our Jeremiah Castille night of legends event .
I really wanted to see him succeed in the NFL. Good to see he's doing well for himself.
*Access to ur bank accounts is crazy. U gotta draw the line some where my boi.*
And honestly, his big heart that got his money tied up is on a whole nother level of poverty you can't live with your family like that, loving them while struggling with them so badly day in & day out, and think about devastatingly leaving them in that alone, especially when you're the only person that made it out.
