The Las Vegas Raiders are on the lookout for promising young talent to lay the groundwork for their future in the upcoming 2024 NFL Draft. With Antonio Pierce assuming the role of head coach and Tom Telesco joining as the new general manager, the Raiders are eager for success under this fresh leadership.
During Pierce’s interim tenure as head coach in the middle of the season, the Raiders embraced the culture he instilled, resulting in a turnaround that narrowly missed securing a postseason berth. Now, with an offseason dedicated to talent acquisition, Las Vegas aims to bolster their roster and make a push for the playoffs.
One player who could significantly contribute to their aspirations is Kamal Hadden, a cornerback from Tennessee. Despite his season-ending shoulder surgery, Hadden showcased his skills as one of the Volunteers’ standout defensive players.
Beginning his collegiate journey with a stint at a community college, Hadden eventually found his place with the Volunteers, concluding his career with impressive stats: 87 total tackles, five and a half tackles for loss, two forced fumbles, 12 passes defended, and six interceptions.
Standing at 6 feet 1 inch and weighing 197 pounds, Hadden possesses the ideal size to be an outside cornerback in the NFL. Due to his injury, there is a possibility he may slip to later rounds, presenting a potential value pick for the Raiders. His elongated frame, well-built physique, and lengthy arms make him a promising prospect for Las Vegas.
