Last season, undrafted free agent Seth Roberts took the league by storm with the Oakland Raiders, beating out veteran Rod Streater for the final wideout spot on the depth chart before becoming one of Derek Carr’s favorite targets. Roberts turning into a success story out of nowhere for the Raiders, but this preseason the underdog has competition from a new UDFA who is on the rise going into his rookie season.
Former Cincinnati Bearcats wideout Johnny Holton is getting plenty of love from the Raiders this August as both Derek Carr and head coach Jack Del Rio gave the undrafted free agent some praise during their post-practice press conferences on Tuesday.
