Richard 'Richie' Rich: UNC's Reliable Reserve CB Who Hustled on Special Teams
Richard Rich, a four-year UNC Tar Heel cornerback (2005-2008 class), was a dependable reserve who played in 12 of 13 games during his 2008 junior season, shining primarily on special teams with gritty intensity and football IQ that made him a coach's favorite. At 5-9 and 177 lbs, his undersized frame didn't stop his relentless motor or tackling tenacity, earning him a spot in Chapel Hill's secondary depth. Ideal for teams needing versatile, high-character DBs who excel in coverage units and bring unwavering hustle—graduated in 2008 as a program contributor.
