Richburg<\/a> started by saying “it was not a fun year at all.” When Richburg suffered a leg injury during the third game of the season last year, he partially tore a tendon that connects his thigh to his kneecap. Think about that for a second, knowing Richburg started 15 games in the NFL. If I get fouled at LA Fitness, I throw a fit and act like I’m dying. Richburg didn’t want to let his teammates down, so he continued to play through his injury. Knowing what Richburg is capable of and what he went through, it was easy to forgive his play in 2018.<\/p>\n“When you’re dealing with things like that and things don’t look the way you want, when you want to be very good, it’s frustrating. It’s very difficult. Not a lot of people understand the things a lot of guys went through last year in this locker room.”<\/p>\n
The 49ers were no stranger to injuries in 2018. If you pick a position, there was probably a significant injury. Richburg continued, “I was on crutches with my leg locked straight for a month and a half, which takes a toll on the muscle.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
