“Richard called me and informed me he is going to stay in the draft,” said Gottfried. “We had a great conversation. I told him I loved him and supported him. Richard has always represented the University of Alabama with a great deal of class which shows because he’s a three-year graduate. I will be pulling hard and cheering for him as he moves on with his future.”
