emmitt smith highlights in BROWNSBORO.The young horse of the punishing alabama backfield is even getting talk as possible heisman candidate for 2011.So therefore, it is not surprising that he is drawing comparisons to one of the most famous alumni at his former high school, pensacola escambia of pensacola florida, none other than emmitt smith.
Just like richardson, emmitt smith career had somewhat of a slow start in his freshman year, but picked up steam as the year went on.
It was actually that freshman year that he earned his first collegiate start in the 1987 sec opener against alabama in birmingham.
Unfortunately, smith burned the crimson tide for 224 yards and 2 tds in a win over alabama.
He later went on to bigger and better things and eventually became perennial allpro and hall of fame member of the nfl.
While there is much to be seen from richardson before he can be honestly compared to smith, the tools are there that make him a threat on any part of the field.
At any other college in america, tr would be the starting running back and would have gotten a lot more carries.
However, he did the smart thing by going to alabama and saving his body by being a 12 punch that keeps his legs fresh way into the 4th quarter.
The running style is very similar, very elusive with strong upper body strength.
It was on display with the stiff arms and upper body knockdowns of defenders such as the arkansas sideline td run that broke that game wide open.
Not only that, he has speed to kill a defense.
He has the work ethic, the grit, the speed, the toughness, and he is even developing his pass catching skills as evidenced in the overtheshoulder circus catch on the sideline of the 2010 spring aday game.
I am looking forward to seeing trent as a sophomore phenom make defenses pay once again as alabama marches toward trying to nail down its 14th national championship.
