Former Browns legendary running back and Hall of Famer Jim Brown told CBSSports.com at the NFL owners meetings in Phoenix that he's fond of second-year running back Trent Richardson. "I'm very high on Trent," Brown said. "I know he was hurt (last year), and that hindered his performance. But I think he's a real fine back. He's going to be much better. He has a great attitude. I'm looking forward to whatever input I can have with him to do it." Richardson had a productive rookie season with 267 carries for 950 yards with 11 touchdowns and another 51 catches for 367 yards and a score despite playing through a knee injury and bruised ribs, but Brown is expecting big things for Richardson in his sophomore campaign. "He's going to have a chance to prove himself," Brown said. "I don't want to make any predictions, but he has the goods. He has the speed, the quickness, the power and the attitude. He's willing to listen. He's a positive."
