One look at the Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver room and one thing is abundantly clear: There’s a glaring absence of fear-instilling speed.
Of the nine receivers on the roster currently, only there bring lid-lifting speed that can scare the opposing defense. That trio is: Tre Tucker (4.39 40-yard dash time at Cincinnati’s Pro Day); Tyreik McAllister (4.39 at the University of Charleston Pro Day); and Shedrick Jackson (4.25 at Auburn’s Pro Day).
Of that three, Tucker is the only one to play substantial snaps in the NFL as McAllister is a hybrid wide receiver/running back that’s been more practice squad than roster regular.
