DJ Turner’s 35-yard catch and run touchdown for the Las Vegas Raiders against the Minnesota Vikings was scintillating wasn’t it? The play highlights why the undrafted free agent wide receiver made the Silver & Black’s initial 53-man roster. It was a blend of hands, elusiveness and vision from Turner.
Watching that play closely, however, there was someone else that stood out on that play. As Turner rounded the corner and approached the 15-yard line, there was No. 80 providing a seal block that allowed the wideout to gallop into the end zone untouched. That timely blocker was Jesper Horsted.
