4 Las Vegas Raiders that will be starters by this time next season

Darius Stills, DT

We start with a player who will have to work his way up the depth chart this summer to just make the team, as Darius Stills comes into the NFL as an undrafted free agent. After not being drafted during the seven-round 2021 NFL Draft, Stills was quickly signed by the Raiders and is definitely a player to keep an eye on this summer.

How he went undrafted is a bit of a mystery, but now that he has put on the Silver and Black, he is going to turn some heads this summer. He was ultra-productive during his time at West Virginia, being named an All-American, as well as the Big 12’s Defensive Player of the Year for the Mountaineers.

The defensive tackle spot for the Raiders is up in the air as we get ready for training camp, as the organization has brought in many new faces to fix what was an issue last season. Johnathan Hankins will start in 2021, and likely be joined by either Quinton Jefferson or Solomon Thomas, but with all of them entering free agency in 2022, Stills could show enough to be a starter going into camp next year at this time.
