I actually like the Raiders and will be pulling for them. Hopefully he goes back to #33. I really dont want a Bama RB playing for the Raiders wearing #34 for obvious reasons
He does look in better condition. Less bulked up. Maybe back to the future!Trent did an interview with a local news station in Pensacola for those interested in hearing him talk about getting back in shape.
I'm glad you mentioned that. I think having Amari there will help Trent tremendously, as far as work ethic, determination, etc. Strange saying that, but I feel that it is true.I'm gonna be a bandwagon Raiders fan this year since they have Trent and Amari. If the QB continues to play well and develop I think they have a shot at getting a wild card spot in the playoffs..
I hope I get to see him when he comes down for his football camp. I think he still has it.Another good article about Trent. Hope he gets it going this year. http://www.pnj.com/story/sports/2015/07/18/trent-richardson-feature/30334559/

The Oakland Raiders held their first practice of training camp on Friday in Napa, Calif., but Trent Richardson didn't participate. Oakland announced the former Alabama All-American had been placed on the non-football injury list.
The non-football injury list is for players who get hurt away from team activities, although the Raiders did not announce an injury for Richardson. His placement on the NFI list also might indicate he did not pass or did not take Thursday's conditioning test.
While on the NFI list, Richardson can't practice with the team. He'll be immediately eligible to practice once the designation is removed.
The NFI designation comes two days after Vic Tafur of the San Francisco Chronicle reported "whispers are that the Trent Richardson reclamation project is not going so well."
The Raiders signed Richardson after he was released by the Indianapolis Colts in March. Richardson was thought to be a contender for the starting running back spot with Latavius Murray after Oakland let Darren McFadden go and Maurice Jones-Drew retired in the offseason, although Murray was viewed as the incumbent after his play down the stretch last season for the Raiders.
In 2011, Richardson set Alabama's single-season rushing record, finished third in the Heisman Trophy balloting and helped the Crimson Tide win the BCS national championship. Selected with the third pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, Richardson is preparing for his fourth NFL season with his third team.
After running for 950 yards as a rookie for the Cleveland Browns in 2012, he was traded to the Indianapolis Colts and had 563 rushing yards in 2013 and 519 yards in 2014. His number of carries decreased, too, from 267 to 188 to 159.
