Under-the-radar WR comes up big again for Raiders in another win
The Raiders have been desperate for someone in their wide receiver corps to come up big and they found one in this Seahawks castoff.
The Las Vegas Raiders currently lack a strong wide receiver corps, with their starter, Brock Bowers, sidelined by a knee injury. In response to this need, practice squad rookie Cody White made an unexpected impact in their Week 2 victory against the Chargers. White showcased his receiving skills with two touchdown catches, the first of which was a spectacular 50/50 ball win in the end zone.
White attributed his success to the precise pass thrown by quarterback Kirk Cousins, which found him in perfect position to make the play. After scoring both touchdowns, White expressed his satisfaction with aiding the team's efforts to secure the win. This remarkable performance marked White's first career touchdown, effectively doubling his previous total in a single game.
Prior to joining the Raiders, White had only made one touchdown in his entire career. In addition to his two touchdown catches, White also contributed to the team's success during their Week 1 game, when he made a spectacular 79-yard kick return.
