Hemby's size and power style fit Raiders' scheme; special teams work is his path to roster spot.

Roman HembyLV

Undrafted free agent RB from Indiana has intriguing size (6-foot, 210 pounds) and physicality that positions him as a potential change-of-pace option in the Raiders backfield. The source notes Hemby brings a more natural, physical, between-the-tackles power style than competing RB3 candidates Dylan Laube and Chris Collier; he's a decisive runner in both gap and zone schemes, reliable pass protector, and pass catcher out of the backfield. Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak's scheme (wide/outside zone with incorporated gap/power elements from his Seattle tenure) makes Hemby's profile attractive. At 23 years old, Hemby was a core special teamer at Maryland and Indiana (9 kick returns, 203 yards) and displaying prowess in both the offensive and special teams units is his best path to a 53-man roster spot.

Displaying both prowess in DeCamillis' and Kubiak's respective units is Hemby's best path towards a 53-man roster spot.
