a rugged, blocking-first tight end who earned his keep the hard way
London Richardson’s Western Carolina profile points to a throwback TE/FB type whose value is in toughness, leverage, and doing the dirty work—he was listed as a blocking tight end/running back and played all 11 games in his senior season at Western Carolina[1][2]. His best differentiator is versatility in the trenches and on special teams, not flash; that makes him a fit for teams that want a physical, assignment-sound piece who can help the run game and set the tone. Publicly available sources do not show current 2026 production stats for him, so his case is built more on role and profile than recent box-score output[1][2].
