Sheldon Richardson: ‘I’m ready to hit someone else’ instead of Browns teammates

Richardson is ready to take on Lamar Jackson and the Ravens in Week 1

Browns defensive end Sheldon Richardson is ready for some football. More specifically, he’s ready to play against someone other than his own Browns teammates.

With no preseason and no joint practices, Richardson and the rest of the Browns haven’t had an opportunity to test themselves or take out aggression on anyone but themselves. The veteran defensive lineman is ready for that to change.

“I’m definitely tired of hitting my own teammates,” Richardson said in his Zoom press conference with reporters on Thursday. “I’m ready to hit someone else.”

One of the people he’s hoping to hit is Ravens QB Lamar Jackson. Richardson has a lot of respect for the reigning NFL MVP.

“To me, it’s like he’s playing Madden (video game) out there, honestly.”

Richardson will get his chance to hit some Ravens, including Jackson, on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET.
