1974 Free Agent Profile: Ernie Richardson

Linebacker
No. 63
Jackson State
"A starting outside linebacker for the ACFL champion New England Colonials, Richardson averaged nine tackles per game. He was MVP in his senior year and had 10 college interceptions for 250 return-yards and three touchdowns, and his longest was for 80 yards. He blocked eight punts and ten kicks and had 200 career solo tackles. Ernie made the Pat Summerall All-American, Playboy All-American and Little All-American teams.
A health and physical education major, Richardson comes from a football family: his brother Willie played with the Colts nine years and one with the Dolphins; his brother Gloster is with the Browns; and his brother Tom played for the Patriots. Ernie enjoys fishing and playing golf, and is a teacher in the off-season. His birthplace is Greenville, Mississippi."
