Raiders: 4 players who could be surprises on 53-man roster

Tyler Hall

The Raiders brought in a bunch of veterans at the cornerback position this offseason, including Marcus Peters, who should be the proven leader at the position group. The Raiders also added a talented rookie in Jakorian Bennett, who looks like he could be a real steal on Day 3 of the 2023 NFL Draft.

Duke Shelley and David Long Jr. were the big free agent additions before the Raiders signed Peters, and both should make the 53-man roster. Las Vegas also brought back Brandon Facyson to the fold, and when you consider that Nate Hobbs was a star slot cornerback as a rookie in 2021, the cornerback room is packed with talent.

However, one player who could make his way onto the 53-man roster is Tyler Hall, who has played both cornerback and safety this summer. The Raiders have struggled in the defensive backfield for years now, and while Hall would be a surprising addition, he could help the team at both safety and cornerback.
