The Las Vegas Raiders seemingly turned back the clock in the 2025 NFL Draft going with some size/speed selections that OGs in Raider Nation are all too familiar with.
This shouldn’t be all that surprising considering the must-have throwback traits that the Silver & Black made priority are similar to new head coach Pete Carroll’s preferred characteristics.
Take cornerback Darien Porter, for example.
At 6-foot-3 and 195 pounds with 4.3-flat speed in the 40-yard dash, his athletic profile makes him a classic Silver & Black cornerback. Add in the 33 1/8 inch arms he boasts along with being a wide receiver initially in his first three years at Iowa State, Porter also is a classic Carroll corner.
