Jim Brown sure talks a lot of shyt.
NFL Hall of Fame running back Jim Brown stirred up controversy before this year's NFL Draft by declaring that former University of Alabama running back Trent Richardson was "ordinary".
Richardson was selected in the first round by Brown's former team the Cleveland Browns, and the NFL legend has chimed in once again with criticism for the former Heisman candidate.
"I think the kid is a good working back, and if you've got everything else around him he can play his role," Brown said of Richardson in an interview with WKNR radio in Cleveland. "But when it comes to outstanding, I don't see anything outstanding about him. It's not said in a cruel manner. He's very efficient, and that's what you want."
"I'm not trying to be mean. There are certain people you look at and there's something special about them. I don't see it."
Brown acknowledged Richardson's impressive strength during the interview but said that strength does not matter as much as speed and quickness in the NFL.
"But you're not going to make it with strength and ordinary speed and quickness," Brown said. "I don't think it's even an issue. When you deal with Richardson, he comes out of that Alabama mold. He'll work hard for you, and he's kind of an all-around back. But if you look at Cleveland, I would have gotten me a couple of receivers."
