Trent Richardson Played Role Of Leonard Fournette On Alabama's Scout Team

Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports

Alabama had some help preparing for LSU running back Leonard Fournette and it involved a former Crimson Tide player.

According to AL.com, former Alabama and NFL running back Trent Richardson was used to simulate Leonard Fournette on the Crimson Tide scout team last week.

The website also reports that former Alabama quarterback John Parker Wilson was used to play the role of LSU's Danny Etling.

quote:
While Wilson played the role of LSU quarterback Danny Etling, Richardson mimicked Tigers star running back Leonard Fournette, whom Alabama ended up limiting to 35 yards on 17 carries during its 10-0 win over LSU.

Richardson, a Heisman Trophy finalist in 2011 and a former top-five NFL draft pick, has been out of football since the Baltimore Ravens released him in early August.

He recently worked out for the Kansas City Chiefs.

"I think Trent gave a pretty good look, and John Parker, too," Alabama cornerback Marlon Humphrey said. "I tackled Trent this week, man. That's a big guy, man. It's also pretty cool just to go against those guys, knowing what they've done for the program."

Who cares about this gump?

Sweet daddy•90 months

Really really really disgusting with what 80- 90 players you have to stoop that low to have a couple of washed up former players to simulate another team players .

SneakyWaff1es•90 months

That washed up player probably ran for over 35 yards tho.

Gary Busey•90 months

10-0

bearfan22•90 months

unbelievable. that's illegal. they can't have a summer job, but the ncaa allows NFL guys to practice with them. who makes the rules?

adam2000•90 months

LSU should have been notified of this.

icoczar•90 months

how the hell is this not illegal?

Teddy Ruxpin•90 months

If anyone can simulate a 2 yard average it's Trent Richardson

castorinho•90 months

DoubleDown•90 months

Ironic huh. Guess they were practicing for a bust with a bust. Simulate an overrated RB with an overrated RB.

Im surprised Harbauugh didnt come up with this first.

blueboy•90 months

What the hell else did he have to do that day?

Placebeaux•90 months

Damn. Wish LSU could get Michael Brockers, Kevin Minter, Mingo, Dorsey and Montgomery on a scout team.

HC87•90 months

That would have been the right mix to push the OL around, and prep them truly for what they saw Sat night...

jonboy•90 months

It might be legal but it's completely unethical.

If Tim Tebow has a sex change operation, could the tigers draft him?

X123F45•90 months

He identifies as a college player.

GaTiger27•90 months

Imagine this becoming an NFL alternative to help players who already graduated continue practicing to get to the league. A team with enough money, aka Bama, fielding a scout team entirely made up of former Bama athletes and NFL players. Lol you know Tebow is already excited about returning to Florida to relive his glory days.

We couldn't do that, because our best former players have to prepare for Sundays.

lsusteve1•90 months

And I can go ahead and guess what will stop this one day...a severe injury and ex-player sues University.

OweO•90 months

Do what you got to do to win... I like it.

College Football is out of control. Coaches and former players should not be allowed to practice. It is a competitive advantage for those schools with good former players. Can you pay guys to have extra players practice? Scholarship limits are suppose to keep things competitive. Also not what college athletics is suppose to be about. We can't pay players who generate millions of $$$ for the school. But if former players want to practice for free be my guest! Each Big Ten School will generate over 35 Million dollars in revenue from the conference alone starting in 2018. Remember when Jim Delaney said they would go Division III if they had to pay players? Laughable! Over signing, poor treatment of players, and rules like this make me think college football is headed in the wrong direction.

Wow man, Saban is so far ahead of everyone else it hurts.

NAsh-vegas Tigah•90 months
