Bobby Richardson Jr. posed the question to his son, Bobby III, who admittedly was in the middle of making a gigantic mess of his athletic career.

“My first year of high school, I didn’t make the team there,” Richardson III said. “Second year, I transferred to another high school and my grades were low. Third year, me and the coach got into some type of thing and I was released from the team.”

So, in three years of high school – and aided by the double dip of having a poor attitude and poorer circle of friends – Bobby Richardson III hadn’t played a down.

“What now?” his father asked.

“It was just one line,” Richardson III said. “I remember he told me, after I was off the team and I had one year left, he just said, ‘What now?’ And that just struck me. I was like, ‘I’ve got one year left to get it all together.’ ”

He got it all together.
