Sean Richardson
  • Title:
    Defensive Graduate Assistant
Sean Richardson begins his first season as a Defensive Graduate Assistant at Colorado State in 2017.

Richardson played defensive back in the NFL for the Green Bay Packers (2012-15) and was a three-year starter at safety at Vanderbilt (2008-11). From 2008-10, Richardson was coached in the secondary by current CSU special teams and safeties coach, Jamie Bryant.

For the Packers, Richardson totaled 46 tackles over 30 games in four seasons. 

The Linden, Ala., native was extremely productive in his collegiate career for the Commodores. Richardson led the team in tackles (98) in 2010 as a junior, and finished second in the category in both 2009 and 2011. 

Richardson was considered a team leader throughout his college career, and was given the program’s “Hustle Award” after his sophomore campaign. The safety produced memorable moments for Vanderbilt, including recovering a botched punt return for the Commodores’ only touchdown in a Gaylord Hotels Music City Bowl victory in 2008.
