He's a beast, it ain't no hiding that. He's going to be a great player in this league for a long time.

The key thing with any football player is, what can he do when he gets on the field.

He's a major league player, a major league hitter. He's going to be back up here.

He [Richards] is just the whole package for me. He's going to be a great player in our league. ... Even this year he's going to be a good player for us.

Of course it is disheartening.

I think he will become one of the best in the business. To be that size, that fast and that quick, it's crazy.
