If you’re not a Raiders fan and you say that you’ve heard of Jalen Richard, you’re probably lying.
That name is much more recognizable after the Raiders’ running back went 75 yards for a touchdown on his first career rushing attempt.

The TD and two-point conversion tied the game 27-27 in the fourth quarter at New Orleans, although the Saints regained the lead.
The 5’8″, 207-pound Richard went undrafted out of Southern Mississippi. He carried the ball a second time and gained another eight yards. There’s a good chance he’ll get the ball at least a few more times in his career, although we have to remember this was the Saints defense that he sliced through and this game finally shaped up to be the scoring feast most people thought it would be.
