Las Vegas has shown interest in North Carolina linebacker

Among the players Las Vegas Raiders are reportedly having a pre-draft visit with is North Carolina linebacker Amari Gainer.

Let’s take a closer look at Gainer:

Size:

6-3, 235 pounds.

2023 Stats:
He played in 13 games and had 27 tackles, six tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks and a forced fumble.

Career highlights:

Prior to playing at North Carolina, he spent five seasons at Florida State (he grew up in Tallahassee). He played in 46 games with 18 starts for the Seminoles. He is known for being good in coverage.

How he’d fit in with Raiders:

He would be developmental player (and potential immediate special teams player) at a position where they could use young players. He could be a perfect practice squad candidate and he needs to work on strength and refining his game.

What’s his draft range?

He is probably a late-round prospect or undrafted free agent.
