From the article

it's the latter that brings intriguing size and physicality that other two don't... Hemby stands 6-feet and 210 pounds and offers a more natural, physical, between-the-tackles power style than Laube or Collier... he's a reliable back to pound the rock inside and brings added value of pass protector and pass catcher out of the backfield... Displaying both prowess in DeCamillis' and Kubiak's respective units is Hemby's best path towards a 53-man roster spot.

STACKED’s take

Hemby's size and power style fit Raiders' scheme; special teams work is his path to roster spot.

Undrafted free agent RB from Indiana has intriguing size (6-foot, 210 pounds) and physicality that positions him as a potential change-of-pace option in the Raiders backfield. The source notes Hemby brings a more natural, physical, between-the-tackles power style than competing RB3 candidates Dylan Laube and Chris Collier; he's a decisive runner in both gap and zone schemes, reliable pass protector, and pass catcher out of the backfield. Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak's scheme (wide/outside zone with incorporated gap/power elements from his Seattle tenure) makes Hemby's profile attractive. At 23 years old, Hemby was a core special teamer at Maryland and Indiana (9 kick returns, 203 yards) and displaying prowess in both the offensive and special teams units is his best path to a 53-man roster spot.
