Demani Richardson 40 Time

Projected 40 Time: 4.45 seconds

Demani Richardson is a four-year contributor at safety for the Texas A&M Aggies. He possesses good height and weight for the defensive back position in the National Football League. Our projected 40 time of 4.45 seconds is a tenth quicker than the league average.

He displays a good ability to attack and reach the ball from intermediate distance. Shows a solid ability to release form blocks and attack the ball upfield, as well as along the sidelines. Possesses a solid ability to drive the blocker forward to constrict running lanes for the ball carrier. As a pass rusher, he has good timing and quickness to rush the passer from the second-level and get penetration consistently.

However, he displays an inconsistent ability to process the entire field, often only focusing on one receiver at a time. He lacks top end speed that’s necessary to stay with receivers on deep routes downfield. Shows an adequate ability to locate receivers in his area when in zone coverage. Possesses adequate hip fluidity to change directions quickly. I would like to see him be more aggressive at the catch point to disrupt the pass as the receiver attempts to make the catch.
