Richardson Picked By Jacksonville

NC State offensive tackle Will Richardson was selected by Jacksonville with the 129th pick in the fourth round of the 2018 NFL draft.

 Richardson, a second-team All-ACC choice, did not allow a sack or a quarterback pressure in his 11 games played this season.  He led the Wolfpack offensive line that ranked third in the Power 5 in sacks allowed with just 13. The Burlington native played every snap in NC State's eight ACC games in 2017 and helped pave the way for the Wolfpack's back-to-back 1,000-yard rushers (Matthew Dayes in 2016, Hines in 2017).

He was named an All-American by multiple publications and was regarded as one of the top pass-blocking tackles in the country.
