Cyril Joseph Richardson (born December 27, 1990) is an American football guard for the Chicago Bears of the National Football League (NFL). He was drafted by the Buffalo Bills in the fifth round of the 2014 NFL Draft. He played college football at Baylor, where he was a unanimous All-American.

A native of New Orleans, Richardson attended L.B. Landry High School in Algiers as freshman on the junior varsity team. Richardson left New Orleans with his parents, Albert Joseph and Anita Richardson, during Hurricane Katrina in 2005. They moved to the suburbs of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where Richardson attended Baker High School for his sophomore year. A late-season addition to the Baker football team, he rarely played before the family moved to Fort Worth, Texas, in October 2006.

In Fort Worth, Richardson enrolled at North Crowley High School, where he joined the football varsity but did not play during his junior season for academic reasons. Finally returning to the field as a senior, Richardson was named first-team All-District 3-5A in 2008. North Crowley advanced to the first round of the UIL playoffs, losing 21–0 to Luke Joeckel's Arlington.
