Situations change quickly in the NFL, and Las Vegas Raiders defensive tackle Jonah Laulu is a great example. At this time last year, the 2024 seventh-round pick was fighting for a roster spot with the Indianapolis Colts, only to get cut at the end of training camp and claimed by the Raiders.
In his hometown of Las Vegas, Laulu exceeded expectations as a rookie by becoming a starter down the stretch of last season after Christian Wilkins got injured. Now that Wilkins has been released, the Sin City native has a chance to be a first-stringer for the entire campaign.
