Sheldon Richardson enters NFL draft

Sheldon Richardson - DL - College Player

Nov. 30, 2012 - 10:40 PM ET

Missouri DT Sheldon Richardson announced Friday that he will forego his senior season and enter the 2013 NFL draft.

6-foot-4, 295-pound Richardson is a gap-shooting three-technique prospect who paced all SEC defensive tackles in regular season tackles (75), including 10 1/2 for a loss. He also forced three fumbles and racked up four sacks as a junior. Rotoworld NFL draft maven Josh Norris gives Richardson a "great chance" to be drafted in the first round as a disruptive attacker of defenses from the interior.
