Who is Keelan Cole?

Cole signed a one-year deal with the team, further ensuring depth on the outside. Last season, as a member of the New York Jets, the 29-year-old caught 28 passes for 449 yards, accompanied by a touchdown. This was a drop-off from his previous ’20 season, where Cole reeled in a career-high 55 receptions for 642 yards, breaking the plane a career-high 5 times.

The athletic 6’1 receiver has a chance to compete for the wide-open wideout no.2 role, but could just as easily be on the roster bubble with the vast competition at the position. Regardless, this is a playmaker Raider Nation should be excited about grabbing.

Now, the wide receiver group is loaded with talent, and it will be interesting to see which players end up on the 53-man roster at the end of the summer. They have brought in a collection of players who do different things on a football field, and for Carr, they have put him in the best situation of his career in terms of weapons.
