Obi Melifonwu is a workout warrior. Needs to fit into #raiders system and develop NFL skill. Either back up or force to be reckoned with.

Jesus… This dude a freak! 6’3 224 pnds. Very happy with this pick. Reggie Nelson won’t play forever. #Raiders #NFLDraft2017

Are the Raiders trying to build a Legion Of Boom type secondary? #Raiders
