"I love him. That's one of my guys," Mayer said of Benson. "He's got great hands. He's quick. He's moving up, you know? He was in there with us for two-minute [drills] today, and I love when he's in there with me."

Sixth-round rookie Malik Benson impressing at Raiders camp with hands and upside.

Sixth-round rookie wide receiver has impressed at Raiders training camp, showing chemistry with backup QB Fernando Mendoza and tight end Michael Mayer. Mayer praised Benson's hands, quickness, and communication, noting he's 'moving up' and earned snaps in two-minute drills. Head coach Klint Kubiak highlighted Benson's dual-threat value: making plays on offense while contributing as a core special teams player on punt coverage. At 6-foot-1, 195 pounds, Benson is known for explosiveness and field-stretching ability; he had a breakout 2024 season at Oregon with 43 catches for 719 yards and six touchdowns across 15 games.
