Theo Riddick NFL Draft Bio



Theo Riddick (born May 4, 1991) is an American football running back for the Detroit Lions of the National Football League (NFL). He was drafted by the Lions in the sixth round of the 2013 NFL Draft. He played college football for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish.

Riddick attended Immaculata High School in Somerville, New Jersey. He rushed for 4,042 yards and 52 TDs during high school career, which included a state championship in 2006, leading his team to victory and perfect 12-0 season.

Considered a four-star recruit by Rivals.com, he was rated as the No.10 all purpose back in the nation. He accepted a scholarship offer from Notre Dame over offers from Rutgers, Penn State, and Pittsburgh.

As a freshman in 2009, Theo started off his career as a reserve and primarily on special teams as a kick returner. He rushed for 160 yards on 29 carries (5.5 avg) and tallied 849 kickoff return yards on 37 returns. In 2010, under new head coach Brian Kelly, he made the move from running back to slot receiver. In his first season as a receiver, he amassed 40 catches for 414 yards and three touchdowns, including a career game against Michigan State in which he recorded 10 catches for 128 yards and a touchdown. In 2011, he didn't have the break out season many had hoped, he recorded 38 catches for 436 yards and three touchdowns. He also played running back following an injury to starter Jonas Gray near the end of the season. In his final season, as a senior in 2012, he made the move back to running back. Splitting carries with fellow senior classmate Cierre Wood, he rushed for 917 yards on 190 carries (4.8 avg) and five touchdowns. He also recorded 36 receptions for 370 yards and two touchdowns.
