Oakland Raiders pre-training camp 53-man roster prediction
By Sanjit T.
Center(2): Rodney Hudson, Jordan Devey
There is no question who will be the Raiders starting center. The backup would be the only question. Some teams use a backup guard as the teams hybrid guard/center, and others use a true center as the backup.
Oakland uses a hybrid center, who can also be a backup. Being the only other player on the line who has played center, Jordan Devey will be Oakland’s backup going into 2019. It will be Devey’s first season with the Raiders, after recently being a member of rival Kansas City.
In Hudson, the Raiders have arguably the best center in football, and locking him up long-term is going to be the priority after the 2019 NFL season. He has more than proven to be a key for this Raiders football team up front on offense, and is likely in for a big payday as the team moves to Las Vegas.
