Raiders select Elijah Hood at 242nd overall
The Oakland Raiders selected North Carolina running back Elijah Hood with the 242nd overall pick in the 2017 NFL draft.
What It Means:
Hood started for two years in Chapel Hill. He ran 4.63 at the Tar Heels’ Pro Day and is a below-average overall athlete, even at 6'0", 232 pounds. A straight-line grinder back who lacks elusiveness and long speed, Hood’s NFL ceiling is likely as a short-yardage specialist or late-game clock killer.
Hood totaled a career 2,580 rushing yards on 430 carries (6.0 yards per carry) with 29 touchdowns and 40 receptions to boot.
