Trent Richardson had 1300 yards from scrimmage and 12 touchdowns as a rookie, ranking as a top-10 fantasy back, but his 3.6 yards per carry was an early warning sign that he would eventually be regarded as a colossal bust.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalBust

Richardson's low YPC as rookie presaged his bust trajectory.

Despite 1300 yards from scrimmage and 12 touchdowns as a rookie (top-10 fantasy back ranking), Richardson's 3.6 yards per carry was an early warning sign of eventual bust status; he is cited as the primary cautionary example of high-volume, low-efficiency rookie running backs who failed to sustain production.
