Cornerback was a big question mark heading into the season for the Las Vegas Raiders as the position group is very young. One player in particular who some were hesitant about was Jakorian Bennett.
Bennett struggled as a rookie, going from a Week 1 starter to riding the bench at the end of last year. However, after a strong offseason and preseason, he earned a bigger role leading into year two.
According to Pro Football Focus, he had a strong debut in the Raiders’ season opener against the Los Angeles Chargers with no catches surrendered on two targets while logging a pass breakup and earning a 71.
