85. Kenneth Durden
Durden is a 6’1″ cornerback from Youngstown State, who posted quality athletic numbers at his Pro Day. Leading to a training camp invite from the Raiders to see what the tall corner can do against NFL talent this summer.
Cornerbacks that have length and athleticism always have some intrigue. However, he only was able to record one interception against lower level talent. Not exactly the type of production that indicates a UDFA-to-NFL success story.
Also, Durden originally played football at South Florida, but was arrested for felony marijuana possession, which led to a suspension and his transfer to Youngstown State. Making this opportunity with the Raiders crucial for Durden as it could be his best chance to put his college struggles behind him to get started on a career in the NFL.
