Theo Riddick was a key part of Notre Dame’s offense in 2012, running for over 900 yards, five touchdowns and pulling in another 370 yards and two more scores through the air.
The Notre Dame fan-favorite went on to become a sixth round draft pick of the Detroit Lions in 2013 and spent six years there before signing with the Denver Broncos last season. Riddick never played a down for Denver however as he dealt with a shoulder injury.
Riddick has a new home as of this weekend, agreeing to a deal with the Las Vegas Raiders to join their backfield.
A surprise: To make room for Theo Riddick, the #Raiders are cutting RB William Stanback, source said. The former CFL star will go on waivers.

Riddick has over 3200 scrimmage yards in his career and 19 scores. He’s still somewhat of a long-shot to make the Raiders roster as Lynn Bowden, Jr. and Jalen Richard will have to be unseated.
