Boston College Football: Top 3 prospects for 2021 NFL Draft

Boston College is no stranger to putting out NFL-caliber linebackers and Max Richardson could be the next in line.

Richardson has been a solid starter for the Eagles the past two seasons and is looking to further his draft status under defensive minded head coach Jeff Hafley and the new coaching staff.

The senior linebacker set career-highs in a lot of meaningful categories last season finishing the season with 108 tackles and 3.5 sacks in 2019. Richardson does not have the athleticism that most teams desire in starting linebackers, but he is a smart and instinctive player, with a nose for the ball.
