Arizona Rattlers News Release
MESA, Az. - The playoff guaranteed Arizona Rattlers inked a pair of wide receivers to its 2008 squad today, adding NFL vet WR WALTER YOUNG (6-4, 220, Illinois) and former Sun Devil WR TERRY RICHARDSON (6-1, 188, Arizona State) to its squad just before the Los Angeles scrimmage on Tuesday.

Richardson was signed by the Houston Texans on May 1, 2007 after completing five seasons with Arizona State. In his career with the Sun Devils, Richardson played in 35 games, snaring 103 passes for 1523 yards and 13 touchdowns. He also returned both punts and kickoffs, where he returned three (two punts, one kickoff) for touchdowns in his last two seasons.
CAMP NOTES: The team completed its first week of practice today with a morning practice at Gene Autry Park. They will scrimmage Los Angeles tomorrow at noon at the USAirways Center. Admission is free, and doors will open at 11:00am.
