ALAMEDA — Nicholas Morrow came from Greenville, but he’s no greenhorn.
The undrafted rookie is fast and athletic enough to make the Raiders 53-man roster out of a Division III college, good enough to ascend to a starting role and smart enough to make sure NaVorro Bowman never gets out of his sight.
“I sit next to Bow during film and I watch how he takes on blocks,” Morrow said Thursday. “Just talking to him, it makes me less anxious.”
Out of the seeds of a disappointing season has sprouted a pleasant surprise in Morrow, the Greenville College star who has outperformed the entire Raiders drafted rookie class.
