And though the greatest player to ever put on a Cleveland Browns jersey thinks Richardson is just “ordinary”, the Browns coaching staff couldn’t disagree more. And after what Richardson showed them at last weekend’s rookie mini-camp, the Browns coaching staff beliefs remain unchanged.
What the Browns coaching staff saw left them all in awe. They gushed over Richardson physique and power and they are obviously in love. And just in case you needed to know just how much the Browns are enamored with Richardson, ESPN Cleveland begins with a lead paragraph that says it all.
