The choice of sixth round of the Raiders, Tommy Mellott, played the quarter-Arrière at Montana State, but the team announced it as a wide receiver when they selected it last month and this led to many references Julian Edelman.
Edelman made the same transition when he went from Kent State to Patriots and the presence of Tom Brady as a co -owner of the raiders has only easier to see a link between the two players. Edelman was also an exceptional cleaners of an exceptional clearance at the start of his career and that the scouting director of Raiders College, Brandon Yeargan, suggested that special teams are also an area that raiders think of being part of the mellott portfolio.

We look (towards him) really as anhlete / receiver, but he is a unique guy.”
For each Edelman, there are many other players who cannot make positions of change or prosper after having made the jump of the NFL so that the chatter of the offseason can have nothing noun in the fall. Raiders need all the help they can get, and Mellott will be able to provide from it.
