Browns GM Tom Heckert confirmed on PFT Live that he envisions No. 3 overall pick Trent Richardson as a workhorse back.
Richardson will dominate early-down carries in Cleveland, and should rarely if ever come off the field on passing downs. He's a legitimate candidate to lead the NFL in touches as a rookie. "I think it’s pretty safe to say we draft a guy third overall, he’s going to be the guy," said Heckert. "... We thought he was such a special player, we thought it outweighed any, you know, hesitations about whether the running backs, how long they last, and all that stuff. He scores a lot of touchdowns. We think he’s going to score a lot of touchdowns for us."

It's nice to see the Browns finally getting good players.
