Daryl Richardson entered the 2013 season as the Rams featured back, but a toe injury and the emergence of Zac Stacy in that role made his year a disappointment.
General manager Les Snead sees no reason why Richardson can't put himself back into the backfield picture, however, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
"We've all seen what he can do," Snead said. "...What you like about the whole thing is as you bring in more players, as we all grow here, there's more competition. We're all better when we have competition. Daryl's the type of person, I do know this, when he was inactive he didn't like that. You do like the fact that he didn't like that."
Richardson finished 2013 with 215 yards rushing and an average of 3.1 yards per carry. That constitutes a significant drop from 2012, when his YPC was at 4.8.
