It’s been a while since the Raiders had a promising season outlook with the cornerback, but Vinny Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal says two players who caught his eye at training camp were Trayvon Mullen and Damon Arnette.
After last year, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that Mullen has a solid training camp, but what Bonsignore had to say on 920 AM Raider Nation Radio about Arnette’s transition to the NFL could be taken for granted. a little more a pleasant surprise:
“So far, when you look at Damon Arnette, the 19th overall pick on one side, and Travon Mullen, Clemson’s sophomore, on the other [side] just do what they do every day against very good wide receivers, elite talent the Raiders have offensively, and not take a step back. Neither of those guys.

For what it’s worth, Bonsignore hasn’t been the only one singing Arnette’s praises lately. Former All Pro wide receiver Chad Johnson was one of many to point out Arnette’s impressive technique and effort on this game against Henry Ruggs III …

Truth be told, however, no one would have been disappointed if Ruggs III had retired in a sprint. In fact, it’s a little surprising that he didn’t.
