Derrick Richardson brings veteran safety experience to New Mexico State
Richardson’s value is as a dependable, assignment-sound **safety** with real college-game reps, having started all 13 games for New Mexico State in 2007 and finishing second on the team in tackles that season.[5] He stands out more for consistency and trustworthiness than splashy stat lines, which can matter for teams needing a steady back-end defender who understands positioning and run support.[5] The main caveat is that the available public data is old, so current form, injury status, and recent development are not well documented in the sources provided.[5][6]
