Raiders UDFA 2022: Close connections pay off

There have been many reports of the Las Vegas Raiders filling their 2022 undrafted free agent class, but no announcements have been made yet, so nothing is official and the UDFA market is always fluid.

Yet, a couple of the reported Raiders’ rookie signing make so much sense. basically, once these two players went undrafted, all signs pointed to them to heading to Las Vegas.

They are Arizona State linebacker Darien Butler and USC safety Isaiah Pola-Mao. Why? Connections, including family ties.

Pola-Mao is related to new Las Vegas running backs coach Kennedy Polamalu and he is the uncle of Pro Football Hall of Fame safety Troy Polamalu.
