Can Former Colts RB Edgerrin James help turn Trent Richardson’s career around?
Edgerrin James, who retired with 12,246 rushing yards is now looking to mentor Trent Richardson, whom the Colts acquired via a trade with the Browns. James contacted Jim Irsay and told him he wanted to work with T-Rich.
“Last year, when [Richardson] got here during the middle of the season, it wasn’t fair to him with a lot of stuff that was going on,” James said. “So I told [owner] Mr. [Jim] Irsay I would come up here during training camp and kind of talk to him and give him perspective on everything he is going through and help him as much as I can.”
Richardson’s struggles after being acquired from Cleveland in September 2013 are well-chronicled. He only averaged 2.9 yards a carry and lost his starting spot to Donald Brown late in the season.
The Biggest Question remains: Can Edge help Trent get his EDGE back?????
