Raiders’ Anthony Rush, other bubble candidates must show big in Canada

Anthony Rush went to high school in North Carolina, community college in Mississippi and college in Alabama. If Rush is to achieve his dream of making the NFL, he’ll need to do it in Winnipeg, Manitoba.

Not exactly the conventional route for a spot on the 53-man roster of the Raiders.

“I didn’t go to a Power 5 school,” Rush said. “I’m a JUCO product. I didn’t have the easy route to D-1. Now I’m on the same stage as everybody else, and I can show what I can do.”

Rush will be a player to watch Thursday at 5 p.
