3. CB Isaiah Johnson
The Raiders did quite a bit to improve their cornerback room this offseason, drafting the likes of Damon Arnette and Amik Robertson as well as signing veteran Prince Amukamara. But one name that has been lost in the shuffle a bit is former fourth-round pick, Isaiah Johnson.
Coming out of Houston, Johnson was thought of as an upside pick as he possessed all of the size and athleticism needed to be a star defensive back in the NFL. But a preseason injury set him back as he missed the first half of the 2019 season. Johnson would play just 14 snaps as a rookie as he struggled to find the field after falling down the depth chart.
With the amount of talent the Raiders added this offseason to their cornerback room, Johnson not only is fighting for his spot on the depth chart but for a job on the 53-man roster. The former wide receiver convert needs as many snaps as possible to get up to speed and losing two preseason games certainly doesn’t help his chances of making an impact this season.
