Silver And Black Pride on Malik Benson
From the article
rookies Hezekiah Masses and Malik Benson have to be at the top of the list. Both were day three picks but have been the talk of camp with how much they've exceeded expectations, setting themselves up to compete for starting spots or at least have a role on their respective sides of the ball.
STACKED’s take
Day three pick exceeding camp expectations; joint practice vs. elite Texans secondary will validate hype.
Day three pick (sixth round) who has exceeded expectations in Raiders training camp and is competing for a starting spot or roster role on the offensive side of the ball. The source notes that if Benson breaks free from elite Texans cornerbacks Derek Stingley, Kamari Lassiter, and nickelback Jalen Pitre during joint practices, it would be a strong sign the Raiders found a diamond in the rough. Benson is known for his speed and will face free safety Calen Bullock, a 2025 Pro Bowler and emerging deep defender who allowed just 233 yards as a primary defender in coverage last season per PFF; any explosive plays against the first-team defense would be particularly notable.
