The running back group received their official measurements at the 2012 NFL Scouting Combine yesterday. There were a handful of backs with impressive numbers, including top-rated running back Trent Richardson. Richardson came in at just over 5-foot-9 and 228-pounds. His short and compact frame will only allow him to keep a low pad level and rush through defenders at the next level.
