In a league in which hybrid players are all the rage -- safety/linebackers, tight end/wideouts, whatever Terrelle Pryor and Kevin Hogan are -- Richardson's ability to not just rush the passer from an OLB position, but also play inside in coverage, as he did when David Harris sat out against the Cardinals, is a valuable asset. That he enjoys being used in various formations and positions doesn't hurt either -- "I actually like covering people. It's fun."
