Roy Helu, Jr. never expected to be back with a Bay Area team when free agency began, but it has been a pleasant surprise. Although the veteran running back did not grow up a Raiders fan, it hasn’t dampened his excitement about the opportunity to wear the Silver and Black.
“This is the most excited I’ve been to play football in the NFL thus far,” Helu, Jr. said.
For someone who has already played a great deal of football so far, that’s quite a statement.
The veteran running back became a free agent after the 2014 season and joined the Raiders in March.
