This is the Amik Robertson that the previous Las Vegas Raiders regime envisioned he would be.
Former Raiders’ coach Jon Gruden and general manager Mike Mayock selected the small, but playmaking Robertson in the fourth round out of Louisiana Tech in 2020. They thought he would become a big-time NFL playmaker.
But Robertson was slow to develop in his first two seasons, playing in just 18 games in his first two season. Yet, this year, under a new regime, Robertson has become a big part of the Raiders’ cornerback rotation. The reason was multiple injuries, but Robertson is earning himself a role on the Raiders’ defense.
