Seahawks Trade Percy Harvin: 5 Players That Will Benefit
By Paul Novak
The crazy thing about Richardson is that he was drafted just this past offseason specifically because of his offensive skill-set. The same attributes that Percy Harvin has.
Those guys have practiced great and we’re real excited about their chance to play … really, we won’t hesitate to play those guys if they’re up for this game. – Carroll on Richardson and Michael
Was selecting the speedy Colorado receiver a sign of things to come with Harvin?
Whether it was or not, Richardson will undoubtedly see more playing time now that he’s moved up the depth chart. I mean, he’s only “played” in four games (suiting up and playing are not the same in my book), having been targeted once by Wilson, a 7-yard completion.
Earlier in the week Seahawks Head Coach Pete Carroll said that he wanted to use Harvin’s speed more. Richardson has the same speed, a skill that he was specifically drafted for. He could fill in well in any gameplan that wants to use it.
