INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- Indianapolis running back Trent Richardson didn't travel to New England for the AFC championship game Sunday, with the Colts saying only that the move was made because of personal reasons.
Also, reserve offensive tackle Xavier Nixon missed the team flight Saturday and has been listed as out for the game.
Richardson was inactive for Indianapolis' victory at Denver last week after playing one snap in the playoff opener against Cincinnati.
Acquired from Cleveland for a first-round pick in September 2013, Richardson lost the starting job to Daniel Herron late in the season.
In 15 regular-season games this season, Richardson ran for 519 yards and three touchdowns.

the days of a running back being a top 10 pick are history..

he is probably the last running back to get the mega bucks directly out of college.

Richardson was eventually selected third overall by the Cleveland Browns, after they had traded picks with the Minnesota Vikings to select him ahead of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Richardson was the highest selected running back since Reggie Bush went second overall in 2006. The Browns had not selected a running back in the first round since William Green in 2002. On July 23, Richardson and the Cleveland Browns agreed to a four-year, $20.4 million contract (fully guaranteed) with a $13.6 million signing bonus.[SUP][40][/SUP][SUP][41][/SUP]
