63. George Atkinson III

Atkinson is popular amongst Raiders fans, like how Townsend Jr. soon will be, because of his famous father, who happens to be a Raiders great.

Many clamored for Atkinson to get a shot during the 2015 season, but when called upon, Atkinson didn’t do much to seize the opportunity.

Still, Atkinson is a former track star that also has great size at 6’1″, 218 lbs. He has all the tools you could want in a running back, it’s just a matter of putting everything together.

Latavius Murray and DeAndre Washington will be locked into two of the roster spots. It’ll be interesting to see between Atkinson, Jalen Richard, Roy Helu and Taiwan Jones, how the team sorts of the rest of the position.
