Former Alabama RB Trent Richardson will receive another chance to play in the NFL.
AL.com reports that the Baltimore Ravens have signed Richardson following a Monday morning workout.
Richardson, who was the No. 3 overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, sat out the entire 2015 NFL season.
At just 25 years old, it appeared as though his career may have been over after 2,032 yards in three NFL seasons split between the Cleveland Browns and Indianapolis Colts.
He was cut by the Oakland Raiders prior to the 2015 season and did not latch on elsewhere.
Richardson made a connection with Ravens coach John Harbaugh this offseason, and was offered a chance to earn a contract if he was able to meet some fitness goals.
