3. Steven Richardson, Defensive Interior, Minnesota
Speaking of undersized defensive linemen, Richardson has been giving centers fits from the nose tackle position this season and his 89.0 overall grade ranks second in the nation among interior defensive linemen. He uses a quick first step to get into the center’s pads and from the nose tackle spot and he fires out low to shoot gaps to disrupt plays in the backfield. At 6-0 291 pounds, Richardson may get passed over by NFL teams looking for bigger interior linemen, but it’s hard to ignore his early-season production that has included monster games against Oregon State and again last weekend against Colorado State. He’s been a strong pass-rusher each of the last two seasons, but it’s his work in the run game that has been elevated to match, and this development has been crucial for Minnesota’s defense.
