Jalen Richard’s reputation is that of a diminutive, shifty running back who excels primarily as a receiver out of the backfield, but that may change in 2019.

The transformation started last season when Richard played above his listed weight of 205 pounds, according to Richard’s Twitter account.

At just 5-foot-8, Richard has always been sturdy at the point of contact with defenders, and the extra weight will help in that department. He had a career-high 68 receptions last year as well, so it doesn’t seem the added bulk is a detriment in the open field.

That could be why Richard put on even more weight to prepare for the 2019 season. As part of a tweet thread that followed his above proclamation, Richard revealed he currently weighs about 218 pounds.

That’s a significant jump from 205 pounds. If Richard maintains his elusiveness at a heavier weight, he may push rookie RB Josh Jacobs for playing time. Though Richard’s receiving skills are impressive, he’s averaged 5.3 yards per carry in his career as well.

Most importantly, however, coach Jon Gruden could have two feature backs at his disposal—a notable advantage for an offensive guru such as Gruden. Plus, the league may have to use different adjectives to describe Richard’s game.
