83. Colton Underwood

Underwood was on the Raiders practice squad in 2015, so there is some familiarity here.

He’s got good size for a linebacker at 6’3″, 254 lbs., and enjoyed a productive college career. However, he doesn’t have the athleticism needed to be effective, and doesn’t have the strength to move to defensive end.

Underwood has also received recognition for his efforts in raising funds for the fight against cystic fibrosis in his home state of Illinois.

Underwood seems best suited as a practice squad player, as he was last season.
