Beyond Matsuzawa, long snapper Tyler Duzansky from Penn State is highlighted as a strong UDFA candidate who could edge out the Rams’ former snapper and claim a roster spot. Other undrafted rookies, such as Xavian Sorey Jr. and players connected to Indiana teammates EJ Williams and Roman Hemby, are noted as potential contributors who might begin on the practice squad but could earn active-roster opportunities.
Key takeaways:
– Matsuzawa is viewed as the primary UDFA contender to compete with Matt Gay for the kicking job, with potential historic implications if he starts Week 1.
– Tyler Duzansky is considered the best long snapper among the Raiders’ UDFA signings and could win the starting role.
– Additional UDFA prospects, including Xavian Sorey Jr. and Indiana-linked receivers/running backs, may push for spots, though most will likely begin on the practice squad.
