Rookie CB looking good, so far - New England Patriots Forums

Cornerback Mike Richardson, a sixth-round draft choice out of Notre Dame, had a tough task in 11 on 11 drills, often lining up across from receiver Randy Moss. He held his own. Since it’s only June and players aren’t wearing pads, it is difficult to make any definitive statements about any young players, but Richardson –- at the very least –- did not look out of place.

This could be a pleasant surprise, and a much needed one at that.

I've been noticing the same thing. Looks like he's propelled himself above the Spann/Williams/Anam group.

This would be the best thing that could happen to us. If he can just stay healthy, play a good nickel or dime cornerback role for us that would be huge. I noticed that he had decent size and speed when we drafted him, just never heard of the guy.

Anyone have bio of him for those of us that are clueless on our lower rd rookies?

Let's not write-off anyone yet young man. It's nice to have the rook looking good to Reiss though.

Five years at Notre Dame, started the last couple at CB as I recall. I thought he was the best of a bum lot in the secondary there, he had the best 3-cone speed of anybody in this draft class from what I could see. RB in high school, set records, the usual. I don't know if any of the draft sites had much on him due to his ranking coming into this draft.

a friend of mine is a huge ND fan and he's been telling me to be cautious about this guy. says that he wasn't a very good player in a weak secondary. I'm happy to hear the praise and I'll take a wait and see approach.

6th round draft choices around here seem to be like the 5/12 game in the NCAA tournament... there's so many upsets it shouldn't even be a surprise anymore.
