Very few of them latch onto a prominent position on an NFL team, but every now and then a team finds a diamond in the rough. That was the case when the Raiders signed small, speedy running back Jalen Richard out of Southern Miss a few years ago. He scored on a 75-yard touchdown run in his first regular season game as a pro against the Saints and has held on to the Raiders’ primary third-down pass-catching back ever since, with spot duty as the team’s starting running back on occasion when injuries decimated the positional group.The main knock on Richard has been his slight frame, which limits his effectiveness running between the tackles. It’s the reason his role has been so defined. But with the Raiders’ starting running back job in the hands of a rookie, Josh Jacobs, it behooves the Raiders to have as many useful backs as possible.To that end, Richard noted on Twitter that he has put on a considerable amount of weight this offseason.And how much does he weigh now?Before you think Richard sat around eating Flamin’ Hot Cheetos to put on that weight, let’s see a recent picture of him training.Not only does Richard look totally jacked, it would appear he has also gained the ability to breathe underwater. This could come in useful when the Raiders travel to London, where the weather has a tendency to get rainy.In all seriousness, Richard’s new heft is a great sign for the Raiders. Josh Jacobs Bo Jackson Jersey White , while dynamic at Alabama, always shared the backfield with several other good running backs and never had the kind of workload a top running back in the NFL usually has. Any sort of help Richard can provide as far as between the tackles bruising running would be welcome. The Raiders do still have Doug Martin, but he’s 30 years old, and Chris Warren III is a total wildcard while DeAndre Washington has been maddeningly inconsistent. It’s Richard who realistically should be counted on to step up and be the primary backup to Jacobs, and he can’t do that at 210 pounds. 218 is a much different story, particularly if that is mainly muscle mass. It’s quite difficult to put on that much muscle in a matter of months, but if the man can ride a bike underwater without drowning then he can pack on the pounds in a short period of time. The Raiders’ running back group will be one to watch when training camp opens next month, and luckily we can all see it unfold on Hard Knocks.

That is aside from the local pro day the team is hosting today in Alameda or the private workouts they have at college pro days. These pre-draft visits are by far the most intense meeting any of these players will have in their long process leading up to the draft. Often times you see players who have character questions and medical questions but who are an intriguing talent. Sometimes it’s just top players who the team doesn’t dare consider using the fourth overall pick on until they get a close look at them.As Mayock laid out on Thursday, they put those prospects through the ringer.“What we get out of all of them is we get ‘em in early, to the extent any of them hasn’t been tested for anything that we’re allowed to test . . .we get that done,” said Mayock. “The biggest piece of it is a huge crunch of time with the coaching staff. Five, six, seven straight hours. And we want to find out which guys love it. It’s easy to love it sitting in front of Jon Gruden for ten minutes at 7am. Jon’s going to fire you up and then Jon’s going to hand you to the offensive coordinator and then the position coach and then you’re going to watch film and we’re going to come back and… two hours, three hours we’re going to watch film. And then we’re going to have a quick bite for lunch and then put you on the white board and find out what you’ve learned or didn’t learn. So https://www.raiderslockerroom.com/authentic-derek-carr-jersey , after six or seven hours of nothing but football tape, white board, do you still love it as much as you did whenro at 7 am? “That’s kind of the cool stuff is you get to see…it’s hard to fake it for seven hours. For 15 minutes at the combine that’s a different conversation, but for seven hours with these coaches grinding you and putting all new terminology and names on the board and asking you to regurgitate it back, can you retain it after lunchtime? Which terminology are you using the college or the Raiders? Which guys are in there at the end of 7 hours going ‘this is awesome, give me more’ and there are other guys that are like ‘when’s my flight leave?’ So, it’s kind of cool.”Thus far the Raiders have had most of the top rated prospects for a visit. Here is the current reported list of visits:Josh Allen, ED, KentuckyQuinnen Williams, DI, AlabamaMontez Sweat, Mississippi StateGary Johnson, LB, TexasDerick Roberson, ED Derek Carr Jersey White , Sam Houston StateEd Oliver, DI, HoustonConnor McGovern, G/C, Penn StateDevin Bush, LB, MichiganNick Bosa, ED, Ohio StateThey’ve also had private workouts with the top quarterbacks Kyler Murray, Dwayne Haskins, and Drew Lock (Senior Bowl).
