    That's a nice article, my only question is why they have a picture of Hayward (number 29) instead of Richardson (number 28) accompanying it. :D Seriously Sean is easy to root for - great work ethic and feet planted squarely on the ground - he only got a $5,000 signing bonus but now could certainly afford a brand new vehicle yet he still drives his 2006 Ford pickup. He's got great physical attributes - great size and straight line speed. According to this jsonline article http://www.jsonline.com/sports/packers/packers-notes-em6go7l-166360076.html he apparently he wasn't drafted because of his "average ball skills and ordinary coverage ability... and he had just one INT." One scout said, "He may be a little stiff if you play him further back, but he can play closer to the line." Burnett can play either safety spot so if that scout is right, Richardson's best spot in the D would be at strong safety. In the meantime he should be a special teams demon - slightly smaller but faster than the LB types the Packers populate their ST units with.
