Richardson, who signed as an undrafted free agent with the Minnesota Vikings, missed his entire rookie season after undergoing knee surgery.
Stone, who also went undrafted, played in 12 games for the Atlanta Falcons last season. He started nine of those games.
It’s great to see the former Vols giving back to their home state (both players are from Nashville). There’s no doubt that the kids they mentored will benefit greatly from their advice.
