Elijah Hood sighting, everyone.
The former Charlotte Catholic and North Carolina running back didn’t make his NFL debut last night – that came last week when his Los Angeles Raiders faced off against the Los Angeles Rams – but he certainly had his best showing so far as a professional.
Hood carried the ball three times for 20 yards in the Raiders’ third preseason contest, including a new career-long, 12-yard carry. That may not sound like much, but for someone who dealt with nagging injuries the past few seasons (he suffered a leg injury and a concussion his junior season alone), it was a welcome sight.
