The Oakland Raiders have another gem buried within their roster from the 2014 draft class, and he needs more snaps in 2015.
Cornerbacks Keith McGill and Travis Carrie hope to improve a Raiders pass defense that surrendered 29 passing touchdowns in 2014. Charles Woodson recorded four interceptions out of nine in total for the team. Just like defensive end Justin Tuck who led the team in sacks (five), it’s time to pass the torch.
Who's the next man up behind Woodson? It's clear safety Jonathan Dowling has the talent to make an impact, but his maturity issues in college forced him to climb a steep hill back into recognition as a high-end player.
