Ricardo Sanchez Colclough (born April 18, 1982 in Sumter, South Carolina) is an American football cornerback/kick returner for the Pittsburgh Steelers. He was drafted with the sixth pick of the second round of the 2004 NFL Draft out of Tusculum College. He is currently on the Injured Reserve List. He is perhaps best known for his momentum-shifting muffed punt in week three of the 2006 season. With the Steelers up 17 to 14 against the Cincinnati Bengals, Colclough was back for a punt with roughly eight minutes remaining. He attemped to field the punt by raising his hands above his head, then dropping the punt. He and fellow teamate free safety Tyrone Carter both had a chance to recover, but both failed. One play after the miscue, Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer hit wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh for a score. The Steelers ended up losing the game, 28-20.
