Raiders rookie Bryan Edwards is a 'freak talent,' QB Derek Carr says

The Raiders found a gem when they drafted wide receiver Bryan Edwards with the No. 81 overall selection in the 2020 NFL Draft. You might think he would be overshadowed by first-round Raiders rookies Henry Ruggs (No. 12 pick) or Damon Arnette (No. 19).

Not necessarily.

Despite the fact that 13 other receivers were drafted ahead of him, the Raiders love what they’re seeing out from the 21-year-old rookie so far. Especially quarterback Derek Carr.

"Bryan is a very violent route runner, and that's a good thing," Carr told reporters earlier this week (H/T CBS Sports).
