Matt Harmon on Jalen Nailor

VideoJalen Nailor is a SNEAKY good fit with the RaidersCaptured July 20, 2026

From the video

Jaylen Nailer can get down field as well. 50% of his sampled snaps out of the slot in 2025, 5.1% of the backfield as a motion player. They gave him a 3-year deal in free agency did the Las Vegas Raiders coming over from the Minnesota Vikings. The one route that really stood out to me here, 12.6% route percentage on out routes, 75% success rate on the out routes for Jaylen Nailer... he's going to give you, I think, some bigger weeks than maybe people expect as the option on the sale routes and the out cuts off play action in the in the Clint Kubiak offense.

Slot specialist with elite out-route success fits Kubiak's play-action scheme.

Nailor signed a 3-year free agent deal with the Las Vegas Raiders after playing for the Minnesota Vikings. He operates from the slot on 50% of his sampled snaps in 2025, with 5.1% usage as a backfield motion player. His route profile shows 12.6% route percentage on out routes with a 75% success rate on those routes. Matt Harmon notes that Nailor's ball skills at the catch point position him to deliver bigger weeks than expected as an option on slant routes and out cuts off play action in the Clint Kubiak offense. This fits the quarterback's 2024 tendencies—Fernando Mendoza was consistently hitting out cuts to receivers, which was one of his best routes to throw.
