Chandler Rivers, CB, Duke
Duke cornerback Chandler Rivers was extremely competitive during one-on-ones. The offense usually possesses the advantage, but Rivers produced several pass breakups against wide receivers. The Raiders should be in the market for upgrades at cornerback during the 2026 NFL draft. The Blue Devils standout made a lasting impression.
Kyle Louis, LB, Pittsburgh
The Raiders will undergo a serious makeover at linebacker this offseason. Aging vets like Jamal Adams, Devin White, and Elandon Roberts are pending free agents. Pittsburgh’s Kyle Louis is a rangy linebacker with sideline-to-sideline range. Louis is undersized, but he’s energetic and capable of playing the “STAR” and “SAM” positions.
Bud Clark, S, TCU
TCU safety Bud Clark was among the most competitive and energetic prospects in Mobile this week. Clark forced two turnovers on Thursday that highlighted his versatility. He forced a fumble and also registered an interception that showcased his ability to cover every blade of grass. He also comes downhill and plays man coverage at the nickel.
