Sheldon Richardson is a legitimate Defensive Rookie of the Year candidate as the 13th overall pick of the 2013 NFL Draft by the New York Jets.

Richardson believes he would go much higher if there was a re-do of the draft.

"Probably No. 1, most likely," Richardson said. "Kansas City? Yeah. I went into the draft thinking I'd be the No. 1 pick. I had a shot."

The Jets selected Richardson over fellow defensive tackle Star Lotulelei.
