Raiders' Darien Porter: Finds role as season goes on
Porter finished the 2025 regular season with 42 tackles (29 solo), three pass breakups and a fumble recovery in 17 games, including 10 starts.
The 2025 third-round pick started the last seven games of the season and nine of the last 10. He also played over 90 percent of the defensive snaps in each of the last five contests. For the new regime coming in to lead the Raiders, Porter at least will be an option at cornerback with real game experience.

Raiders' Darien Porter: Ten stops in second career start
Porter logged 10 tackles (eight solo) during the Raiders' 30-29 overtime loss to the Jaguars on Sunday.
The rookie third-rounder made the second start of his NFL career Sunday as Kyu Blu Kelly -- who started in the first seven games of the regular season -- served in a depth role. Porter made the most of his opportunity, playing all 80 defensive snaps while logging a career-high 10 stops, which was second most on the Raiders behind Devin White (16). Porter could make his third start in Week 10 against the Broncos.

Raiders' Darien Porter: Lands in Las Vegas
The Raiders selected Porter in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 68th overall.
A tall, rangy corner with elite speed, Porter is a very interesting prospect. Porter was primarily a special-teams player and wide receiver who transitioned to corner as a senior. As a result, he's inexperienced relative to his peers, but the tools are intriguing. He ran a 4.3 flat in the 40 at 6-foot-3 and 195 pounds. Porter may take some lumps as he hones his coverage skills, but he can be an impact special-teamer from the jump (five combined punt- and field-goal blocks at Iowa State). If he develops, Porter could be a steal for the Raiders in the third round.
