Trent Richardson Has Dropped 22 Pounds and Is 'War Ready' According to Trainer

Trent Richardson's climb back to NFL relevance will be a steep and arduous one with zero guarantees. Literally.

According to USA Today's Tom Pelissero, the running back's contract with the Baltimore Ravens will offer little margin for error—most notably, a lack of guaranteed money.

It's seems, however, that the former University of Alabama running back has embraced the challenge.

Already down 22 pounds, Richardson is "war ready" and "in the best shape of his life," per his trainer, Mike McCoy.

Visually, Richard's toned-up transformation is striking. Whether that metamorphosis will translate into on-field production is yet to be determined.
