Its a one man team............................after todays effort.
Most fans will look at the
Oakland Raiders defense for rising young stars like Khalil Mack. But the Silver and Black have intriguing second-year running back
Latavius Murray, who could make their offensive attack the most promising part of Oakland’s journey back to
NFL relevance.
Murray will become a breakout star for the Raiders if they just give him the opportunity.
Drafted in the sixth round of the 2013 draft, Murray was a terrifying combination of size (6’3”, 230 lbs) and speed (ran a 4.38 40-yard dash at his pro day) as a runner for the University of Central Florida. In his career with the Golden Knights, Murray totaled 37 rushing touchdowns and was selected to the 2012 All-Conference USA First Team. On all 407 carries in his college career, he never lost a fumble,
according to Jeff Legwold of The Denver Post.
But Murray’s game isn’t just about being big, fast and never losing a fumble.
Murray can contribute as a receiver and blocker as well. He caught 50 balls for 524 yards during his college career and was an effective lead blocker for quicker backs.
