He would have had a 3rd catch if not for an underthrown ball. They're deep at WR, so its a battle; they could also keep him on a practice squad, or another team might pick him up.
It sounds like the only question from Gruden is "can he get open at this level." A legitimate question of any WR from the FCS- the doubt is just built in.
This is great because he can prove this without getting the rock. They will evaluate a lot of preseason game film on him for sure. There's lots to look at besides the 2 catches..
I think he's got a real shot at being suited up Week 1.
Tight coverage at the goal-line, put on a shake and bake separated by about two and a half maybe three feet and on another one he broke in the flat on a beautiful route and was wide open by 5 yards. The first attempt, I agree, Glennon underthrew him pretty bad.
I think 50/50 ball skills are going to be big for KD as well.
Nice publicity effort by Chancellor May to get Doss on the field and talking on camera.
Shot in the arm for the Davis program.
Episode 1 of this season's Hard Knocks was the second most watched episode since 2010. If Al Davis were still alive, the Raiders would not be allowing these cameras behind closed doors, but with the upcoming move to Las Vegas, and with Gruden and A. Brown on camera, it apparently was a recipe for fantastic tv, which it is.
Doss is now a part of it, and will no doubt provide a great side story to the overall progression of the Raiders as a whole during the 2019 preseason.
Solid game for Keelan tonight. Caught everything thrown his way and bounced up from a hard hit after a reception and stayed in the game. He's looking like a good possession receiver right now.
"It’s never a bad thing to have too much talent and that’s what the case is for the Raiders. They’ve had several fringe players really come in and compete for a spot on the roster. Undrafted rookie Keelan Doss and been very impressive and could force out a veteran wide receiver like Ryan Grant or J.J. Nelson. He still has more to prove, but he could make things difficult for the Raiders staff."
