2017 Awards / HonorsSecond team All-ACC
An impact player when he was on the field, as NCSU’s offensive production picked up after Richardson returned from a two-game suspension to start 2017. Did not allow a sack or QB pressure in 934 snaps, grading out as the ACC’s top pass blocker. Graded out at 96 percent or higher in two games, the highest grades ever given by the current Wolfpack coaching staff. Runs to Richardson’s side sealed NCSU victories vs. Florida State and Syracuse, with pancake blocks leading to first downs that allowed the Wolfpack to run out the clock. Off-field issues could give some teams pause – before last season’s suspension, he sat one game in 2015 for a DUI stop.
