Rashaan Melvin hardly lacks confidence.
The veteran cornerback has been cut four times in the last four years, yet he’s in position to start with the Raiders. He knows it, too.
“I’ve been in four different locker rooms and I was able to gain my teammates’ trust, my coaches’ trust and the organization’s trust as well,” Melvin said on a conference call Friday after signing with the Raiders. “My confidence just grows over time, man, because there’s not a lot of players that can say they’ve been cut four times and end up in a situation where I’m at today.
