Elijah Hood 'turned heads' at Raiders' rookie minicamp

Oakland Raiders seventh-round rookie running back Elijah Hood reportedly "turned the heads of the offensive staff" at rookie minicamp.

What It Means:

With the starting running back spot firmly in the hands of Marshawn Lynch, Hood looks to have a leg up on Jalen Richard and DeAndre Washington for the backup spot.

In three seasons with the North Carolina Tar Heels, Hood rushed 430 times for 2,580 yards (6.0 yards per carry), and 29 touchdowns.
