38-year old Tony Richardson and rookie 5th round pick John Conner will hold down the fullback job in 2010.  Richardson is really an outstanding blocker and when the Jets throw him a bone and give him the ball he does something with it.  Richardson played in 16 games (10 starts) for the Jets last season and he carried the ball 7 times for 48 yards (6.9 ypc).  He also caught 3 passes for 10 yards (3.3 avg) last season.  Richardson has now played in 218 games (123 starts) in his NFL career and he has carried the ball 424 times for 1,714 yards (4.0 ypc) with 15 TD runs.  He has also caught 205 passes for 1,512 yards (7.4 avg) with 9 TD grabs in his career.  Richardson is one of the better fullbacks around and I look for him to have another good season in 2010.  John Conner will get to learn from one of the best fullbacks in the game eventually replacing him down the road.
