For Trent Richardson, it's the same old story. And it could rob him of him any chance at rebooting his NFL career.

Richardson, the No. 3 overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, has struggled with conditioning throughout his pro career and Ravens coach John Harbaugh believes the issue led to a hamstring injury that kept the running back out of the first week of OTAs.

"Trent just needs to get healthy," Harbaugh said, via ESPN.com. "I think the workload and the amount of work it takes to be a world-class conditioned athlete is something that he's working on right now. That's what he needs to understand, and that's where he needs to get himself."

The Ravens waited until April 18 to sign Richardson because they wanted to see if he could get into acceptable shape and stay that way. Weight issues and injuries have haunted Richardson during an unproductive NFL career that has included stops with the Browns, Colts and Raiders. He spent last season out of football.

"When he gets himself (in shape), he's got talent," Harbaugh said. "I'm very certain he'll get there. And when he does, we'll be able to evaluate him."




So..........Herschel?

Gotta be kidding me.

To be honest he's not going to beat out Kenneth Dixon anyway. Hope he's saving his money.

He needs to get with Eddie Lacy's trainer.

I never understand athletes like this, it's your job to be in game shape and such.

Then I remember how many terrible employees/managers I've worked with that couldn't do/didn't want to do the basics of their job.

So what he's saying is they're going to cut him.

I think we need to re-rank the biggest busts in draft history. After the last few years of draft busts, is JaMarcus and Leaf still 1 and 2? I'm just asking.

Weight issues

Did we waste the name "feast mode" on the wrong bust of a running back?
