Tony Richardson is underrated. I was looking into his career not too long ago and he blocked for Priest Holmes and Larry Johnson here, went to Minnesota where he blocked for a 1,000+ yard back (can’t think of his name) in 2006 then Adrian Peterson in 2007, then went to New York where he blocked for Thomas Jones with the Jets (1,300 yards in 2008 then 1,400 yards in 2009).
There was nearly a solid decade where he was paving the way for 1,000 yard backs every single year.
