After losing Casey Hayward in free agency this offseason, the Raiders have a big hole at the outside cornerback spot. They are hoping that a few of their younger cornerbacks can step up, but the one player that hasn’t received a lot of buzz is former fourth-round pick Amik Robertson.
In a recent article by Tashan Reed of The Athletic, he mentioned that Robertson has worked with the first-team defensive unit. But what’s more interesting is where he has been playing. According to Reed, Robertson worked on the outside, rotating with Rock Ya-Sin and Anthony Averett:
“Amik Robertson has gotten some looks at first-team outside cornerback. Robertson’s lack of size and inconsistent technique have been issues in the past, but Mullen being out has opened the door for him to have a chance to prove himself.”
