Hezekiah Masses competes for starting cornerback spot with Raiders

During early training camp, Las Vegas Raiders rookie Hezekiah Masses is competing with Darien Porter for a starting cornerback position. Masses, a fifth-round draft pick, has begun practice with the first-team defense, raising questions regarding Porter's place in the lineup after a difficult rookie season. Porter, who struggled in his debut year with a subpar performance ranking among the league's cornerbacks, faces increasing pressure from the emerging Masses, who excelled in college with a leading number of interceptions and pass breakups. Head coach Klint Kubiak emphasized that all players will have the opportunity to prove their worth throughout the training camp sessions.
