Charlotte Catholic, UNC RB Elijah Hood gets some run for Raiders. Can he make the team?

Posted Aug 29, 2017
Elijah Hood sighting, everyone. The former Charlotte Catholic and UNC running back didn’t make his NFL debut Saturday night – that came last week when his Los Angeles Raiders faced off against the Los Angeles Rams – but he certainly had his best showing so far as a professional. Hood carried the ball three times for 20 yards in the Raiders’ third preseason game. (Charlotte Observer)
