Trent Richardson was taken with the No. 3 overall selection in the 2012 NFL Draft.

His rookie campaign was solid, nothing special. He racked up 950 rushing yards and 11 rushing touchdowns on 267 carries as well as 51 receptions for 367 yards and a touchdown. Recently, on 92.3 The Fan's 'Bull & Fox Show,' Richardson revealed that he had been playing with broken ribs and was coming off two knee surgeries. He played two games for the Cleveland Browns during the 2013 regular season before learning that he had been traded to the Indianapolis Colts for a first round selection.

Richardson would spent parts of four seasons with the Baltimore Ravens, Oakland Raiders and Colts before latching on with the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the Canadian Football League. The Alabama product believes his career would have been different if he had stayed planted in northeast Ohio.

"I know it would've went way better for me. When that happened, it took a lot from me - the love of the game and the loyalty...I'm still wondering to this day, how did I get traded?...They just took a lot from my heart...I thought I was going to be playing my whole career in Cleveland. I never thought I was going to be leaving there. I loved Cleveland. That was the place for me. My son was born in Cleveland. I had a house up there. I bought my mom a house. Going from having everything situated, now I have to up and leave my family and move them [to Indianapolis] quickly," Richardson recalled.

Richardson, now 27 years old, is still waiting for a call from the NFL. In 46 career games, he recorded 614 carries for 2,032 yards (3.3 yards per carry) and 17 touchdowns. He also had 113 catches for 912 yards and two touchdowns.

If General Manager John Dorsey were to give Richardson a call, he would gladly answer.

"If Cleveland was to give me a call, I would love to be back in Cleveland. That is home for me. Whoever. I just need a shot. That's all I need," he finished.

The Browns signed veteran running back Carlos Hyde to a three year deal worth $15 million in the off-season. They return Duke Johnson Jr., Darius Jackson and Matthew Dayes. The team has also been linked to running backs in the 2018 NFL Draft. It is unlikely that the franchise would consider re-signing the Florida native but it is nice to hear how fondly he recalls his time in Cleveland.
