There are a lot of battles in Oakland Raiders training camp that will be exciting to see. One I’m particularly interested in is tight end Jared Cook vs strong safety Obi Melifonwu.
Cook is another one of those matchup nightmares at the tight end position in the NFL these days. The former high-jumper is 6’5”, 255 pounds with 4.49 40 speed and a 41-inch vertical leap. So he’s fast enough to run away from most linebackers, big enough to catch the ball over cornerbacks and has the hops to go up and get one over anyone.
