NAPA, Calif. -- Treyvon Hester was the last player drafted by the Oakland Raiders this spring, the defensive tackle from Toledo going 244th overall.
Former Tennessee Volunteers linebacker LaTroy Lewis was not even selected and signed as an undrafted free agent.
But both rookies stood out in the Raiders’ exhibition opener Saturday night, posting two sacks and four tackles apiece in the 20-10 loss to the Arizona Cardinals and giving coaches something to ponder. Especially with NFL Defensive Player of the Year Khalil Mack and outside linebacker Bruce Irvin sitting out.
