    Powers-Johnson's Versatility Gives Raiders an Early Contributor

    When the Las Vegas Raiders selected Oregon's Jackson Powers-Johnson in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft, he was announced as a guard. This raised some eyebrows, as Powers-Johnson spent his junior season with the Ducks at center, winning the Rimington Trophy, given to college football's best center. It appears Powers-Johnson will transition to guard in the NFL. This shouldn't concern Raiders fans, as he did play left and right guard during his time at Oregon.

    How Jackson Powers-Johnson went from Corner Canyon to the NFL

    The phone rang, and Jackson Powers-Johnson was in trouble. “He was in the second grade, and I got a call from the principal,” his mother, Jennifer, said in a phone interview. “She had Jackson in her office and she said that Jackson doesn't let any of the other kids win at sports at recess.” Jennifer was at a loss.

    Raiders rookie Jackson Powers-Johnson takes pride in protection

    The details of the game itself are a tad fuzzy in Jackson Powers-Johnson's mind some 16 years later. Johnnie Lee Higgins punctuated his 53-yard punt return for a touchdown with a cartwheel and backflip ... Michael Bush rumbled into the end zone from 5 yards out for another score before Andrew Walter hit Chaz Schillens for a 2-point conversion ... JaMarcus Russell completed 2-of 5 passes for 13 yards while Stanford Routt and Hiram Eugene picked off J.T. O'Sullivan and Shaun Hill, respectively. Powers-Johnson was 5 years old and entering kindergarten on Aug. 8, 2008, so it's no wonder the Las Vegas Raiders' second-round draft pick can't recall specifics of the Silver and Black's 18-6 preseason win over the San Francisco 49ers at the Oakland Coliseum that night.
