Raiders DL Myron Tagovailoa-Amosa’s Versatility Is Key In Making Roster

The Las Vegas Raiders’ defensive line is stacked with players that will take part in an intense training camp battle. Among them is undrafted free agent rookie Myron Tagovailoa-Amosa from Notre Dame. Possessing versatility and upside, Tagovailoa should be one of this year’s undrafted prospects that makes the roster.

What does Tagovailoa-Amosa bring to the Las Vegas Raiders?

The six-foot-two, 260-pound Hawaii native is smaller than most of the defensive linemen the Raiders currently have. However, what he lacks with his current size is eclipsed by his high motor and impressive upper body strength. In fact, he plays with such reckless abandon that you can’t help but notice his relentless pursuit. Tagovailoa plays every snap like it’s his last, and simply put, he doesn’t stop.

He posted 12 tackles for a loss the last two seasons with the Fighting Irish, showing off his ability to penetrate offensive backfields. He did that by using his powerful hands while ripping through blockers, moving linemen aside with a strong first punch. Tagovailoa also makes use of those hands to cause turnovers: two forced fumbles and two forced fumbles. During his time in college, he was always looking for the ball, and he ended up recovering four fumbles.
