Raiders Sign 17 UDFAs

May 5th, 2017 at 1:22pm CST by Zachary Links

The Raiders have signed 17 undrafted free agents, according to a team announcement:

Breon Borders, CB (Duke)
Paul Boyette, DT (Texas)
Chauncey Briggs, OT (SMU)
Fadol Brown, DE (Mississippi)
Pharoah Brown, TE (Oregon)
Anthony Cioffi, S (Rutgers)
Keon Hatcher, WR (Arkansas)
Chris Humes, CB (Arkansas State)
Rickey Jefferson, S (LSU)
Anthony Kukwa, LS (Lake Erie)
Nicholas Morrow, LB (Greenville)
Jordan Simmons, G (USC)
Ahmad Thomas, S (Oklahoma)
Jordan Wade, DT (Oklahoma)
Issac Whitney, WR (USC)
Xavier Woodson-Luster, LB (Arkansas State)
Ishmael Zamora, WR (Baylor)

Cioffi, a product of Jonathan Dayton High School in Springfield, N.J., stayed close to home for college and worked his way up to a starting role in his senior year at Rutgers. Cioffi led all Scarlet Knights defensive backs last season in tackles (63) and interceptions (2). Prior to the draft, he reportedly ran a 4.37 second 40-yard-dash in training.

Zamora was suspended for three games last season after videos emerged of him beating his dog. He was not invited to this year’s draft combine and that was likely the results of his off-the-field behavior. He appeared in ten games last season for Baylor, tallying 63 catches for 809 yards and ten touchdowns.
