Raiders RB Elijah Hood Battles For Roster Spot In Camp

Posted Aug 6, 2017
There’s a reason Oakland drafted Elijah Hood in the seventh round. The 5-foot-11, 230-pound former Tar Heel is a banger who fits well with Oakland’s blocking scheme. Patterning himself after Marshawn Lynch, the Raiders need as much power they can get. He isn’t going to make defenders miss often. He’s more apt to lower his shoulder to run through defenders.
