NAPA –- Keith McGill looks like a modern NFL cornerback. He’s 6-foot-3, 211 pounds, with strength and a long wingspan.
He fits the Seattle Seahawks mold of a physical, press cornerback, something the Raiders will value under defensive coordinator Ken Norton, who cut his teeth working under Pete Carroll.
McGill is a potential scheme fit, albeit one with little experience. McGill has taken 194 defensive snaps since being selected in the fourth round of last year’s draft, most of which came in last year’s final two games.
That didn’t scare a new Raiders coaching staff led by head coach Jack Del Rio.
