Patrick Richardson brings veteran special-teams value, but his Troy impact looks limited by age and injury history
In his 2019 season at Troy, Patrick Richardson was a reserve bandit and key special-teams contributor who played nine games before an injury ended his year, recording 2 tackles while logging 18 defensive snaps and 123 special-teams snaps. He stands out more for toughness, role flexibility, and willingness to do the dirty work than for splashy production. The big question is fit: if you want a high-effort depth piece who can help on coverage units, he makes sense; if you need an instant-impact edge rusher, the stat line says that’s not his lane.
