Colorado DB Richard Yates II brings proven playmaking and turnover creation
Richard Yates II is a **ball-hawking defensive back** whose calling card is disruption: Colorado lists him with 143 tackles, 101 solo stops, five interceptions, nine pass breakups, six forced fumbles and three recoveries, which points to a defender who attacks the football and finishes plays. His value is the combination of reliability in space and aggressive takeaway ability—traits that translate well to teams needing a defender who can tackle, cover, and generate momentum-changing turnovers. He looks like a fit for systems that reward physicality, instincts, and confidence in one-on-one coverage.
