Raiders training camp: 5 who might surprise, 5 who might disappoint

Draw that second-to-last X on your calendar, because training camp is only two days away.

Rookies and select veterans have already reported to Napa, and the others will join on Thursday.

First practice open to media: Friday morning, and it only picks up from there.

Let’s have a look at five Raiders who might surprise you in a good way during training camp, and five who might disappoint.
