Mississippi State football: players talk first day in pads at spring practice

It’s still incredibly early and there are several months before Mississippi State football takes the field again in a regular-season game, but just a handful of days into spring practice, the Bulldogs are already showing plenty of reason for optimism.

The team had its first day in pads on Tuesday as they knocked the rust off in anticipation of the spring game next month.

Mississippi State cornerback Decamerion Richardson, defensive end De’Monte Russell and wide receiver Rara Thomas met with the media following the day’s practice to reflect on what the team showed, where there was room for improvement and where the expectations stood.

Of course, a lot has changed for some position groups like wide receivers, with one of the team’s standouts leaving for the 2022 NFL Draft.
