Huge shout out to
@e_harris_31
for being the only player to do a final lap around the Coliseum. Although I was up in the Club Section, that was respect right there.

Just wanted to encourage all the fellas around the league that get that “phone call” keep y’all heads up. Been through it & honestly it became the biggest blessing. Don’t lose confidence in something you’ve been great at since a child. More doors will open!! Grind with Faith 🙏🏽🙌🏽

At the age 22 they said I wasn’t good enough.
At the age 31 they are still paying me to do what they said I couldn’t.
Don’t allow others to write your story. Your mind is the “pen” and your actions are the “words.” You are the author and Gods the publisher!
Having Faith 🙏🏼🙌🏼
Keep ya head down & grind... One day you’ll look up and realize you’re living your dream. You’ll reflect and be grateful. Then want you’ll want more.
Be content with God’s Timing, but don’t be complacent with your Self Growth❗️
Yooo

I’ll be wearing these cleats in honor of my sister this week. I wanted to share a brief summary of her story and how this fight has given her a different outlook on life.
4️⃣ years later and the Organization who gave me a chance is still showing me love. So many long lasting relationships made in my 3 years there. Nothing, but love for my folks in The Hammer and forever grateful

On this day a year ago I was jobless.... I couldn’t have asked for a better situation then I’m in now and with the team I’m with. For the guys experiencing my shoes, keep your faith. God doesn’t make mistakes!
It’s for those who laid it on the line before us. It’s for the fans who show constant support through the ups and downs. It’s for the city of Oakland. It’s for my brothers. It’s for Raider Nation❗️Chills just…
No big deal, just a D2 undrafted player, who worked at a chip factory before getting an unlikely CFL offer, turned NFL player!!
@e_harris_31
for the WIN!!
A GREAT LEADER once said “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” Therefore “Forgiveness is not an occasional act, it is a constant attitude.” Reminder to self to love and service others!

Erik Harris played a full game at safety Sunday. Said Lamarcus Joyner afterward: "We were like, 'We've got to get 25 on the field. He's an X-factor.'"

safety Erik Harris' 79.9 coverage grade ranked 16th among 86 safeties that played 200+ coverage snaps in 2018 ☠️
Get PFF for all Raiders data:
Despite being a walk-on at a Division II school, going undrafted, being told to find another career and being labeled a special teams player, Erik Harris never gave up on his NFL dream.
Now, he uses his doubters as motivation to keep getting better.
For those who don’t know Erik Harris (the player with 2 almost 3 interceptions), let this be your encouragement. He went to a D2 college, went undrafted, worked at a chip factory, played in the CFL, and three years later FINALLY got a shot in the NFL. Never give up!
