Raiders Rookie RB Elijah Hood has slimmed down, may be a 7th round steal
Posted Jul 27, 2017
While Marshawn Lynch is going to be the man in 2017 and 2018 more than likely, the Raiders opted to take a chance on former North Carolina RB Elijah Hood in the seventh round of the draft. In turn, he's apparently taken his move from the collegiate ranks to the NFL pretty seriously, as ESPN's Adam Caplan reported that Hood has lost weight and looked good during OTAs.
