Devine Ozigbo – Running Back, Nebraska

Running back is another area that the Raiders will need to address this offseason and a late round pick on Devine Ozigbo would be a great option.

He is a big back at 6’0 230lbs, but he is in no way just a power back. He has the tremendous change of direction able to stick his foot in the ground and get up field quickly. If he gets in the open field, he has the speed to break off big runs and the lateral quickness to make defenders miss.

He isn’t the best in the passing game but is indeed capable of contributing as a receiver and in pass protection.

I think he provides everything you can ask for in a running back and you won’t have to spend a high draft pick on him. Also if the Raiders do decide to run more zone blocking schemes this season, Ozigbo is perfect for that style of running.
