The Big Cat attends Practice

The Big Cat seems to be doing great!

Richardson received applause from players when he rode a golf cart onto the practice field at the beginning of an optional workout on Thursday. Wearing a dark jacket and blue tie, Richardson appeared much thinner than before the surgery, but also showed energy.

Attending his first practice in more than a year, the 72-year-old Richardson got up from his cart several times to shake hands of players and coaches.

Outstanding, time for the players to give him a Lombardi.

Honestly, this kinda made my day.

You know this must have made so many players happy to see him out there. I bet it was a great lesson for the rookies too, to see how much the players care for the Big Cat. It would be difficult to get a real feel for this organization and the team mentality without Mr. Richardson out there at practice.
