The Las Vegas Raiders have more talent on this roster than they have had in quite some time, and here are some edge-of-the-roster players who could make an impact.

Every offseason, the Las Vegas Raiders roster expands to 90 players and young players are allowed to chase their dreams. Every once in a while, an undrafted free agent will sneak onto the final roster and make an unexpected impact.

In recent seasons, undrafted players such as Nick Bowers, Kendall Vickers, Rodric Teamer, Keisean Nixon, and Erik Harris have come out of nowhere to make the team. More notably, players such as Alec Ingold, Nicholas Morrow, Rod Streater, and Jalen Richard have made the team and made a big impact.

This season, new head coach Josh McDaniels and new General Manager Dave Ziegler will scour the roster for hidden gems that come out of nowhere to make the team. The Patriots were notoriously excellent at uncovering hidden gems in the undrafted free agent and street free agent pool. Most recently, J.C. Jackson received a massive contract after being an undrafted free agent.

Therefore, let’s take a look at who we should keep an eye on.
