Oregon CB confirms various pre-draft meetings with Raiders
A University of Oregon cornerback recently confirmed multiple pre-draft meetings with the Las Vegas Raiders.
The Las Vegas Raiders will enter the 2026 NFL draft needing some additional help at cornerback. General manager John Spytek re-signed Eric Stokes, who played well on the boundary in 2025. Spytek also acquired veteran defensive back Taron Johnson via trade , and he's expected to start at nickel corner.
Opposite Stokes on the outside is inexperienced sophomore corner Darien Porter. Decamerion Richardson is on the roster as a depth option. It's a huge year for Porter, who may face competition for his role from a rookie, assuming Spytek drafts one in April.
One cornerback prospect with inside-outside versatility recently confirmed various pre-draft meetings with the Raiders. It seems the Raiders are showing interest in Oregon cornerback Jadon Canady. " I’ve probably met every team in the NFL at least twice, and some teams I've met three or four times ," Canady told NFL Draft On SI .
" I met with the Las Vegas Raiders [again] recently on Zoom . " Raiders met w/ Oregon CB Jadon Canady recently on Zoom, per his interview w/ @JustinM_NFL . Also met w/ him at Shrine Bowl.
