Richie Worship brings Purdue a compact, physical downhill rushing option
Richie Worship’s value is his **power-run profile**: Purdue used him as a 250-pound, compact back who can absorb contact, move the chains, and contribute as a receiver, finishing 2019 with 53 carries for 257 yards, 3 rushing touchdowns, and 10 catches for 73 yards[5]. ESPN also lists him at 89 career carries, 393 rushing yards, and 5 total touchdowns[1]. Evaluators and roster bios consistently frame him as a **physical, tough, short-yardage fit** rather than an open-field explosiveness back, which makes him most appealing to teams that want reliability, contact balance, and pass-game utility[2][7].
