The Las Vegas Raiders selected an intriguing, explosive athlete in former Mississippi State cornerback Decamerion Richardson.
The Las Vegas Raiders knew they needed to get younger and add players in their secondary through the 2024 NFL Draft.
Richardson finished his career in Starkville with 177 total tackles, two for loss, 10 passes defended, a fumble recovery and a sack. He did not record an interception. Richardson has a chance to be a major contributor in his rookie season for the Raiders. Let’s examine his film and see what makes him such an intriguing prospect.
Taking a look at Richardson’s tape against Arizona, one of the things that stands out is when he matched up with star Wildcats receiver Tetairoa McMillan. McMillan is a massive presence on the outside and should be a first-round selection in next year’s draft. When Richardson lined up against him, Arizona’s quarterback did not look his way.Another thing that stands out about Richardson is how well he moves for his size. He is intelligent, too. He can quickly click and close on any route.
