The Las Vegas Raiders recently claimed safety Tristin McCollum off waivers. Let’s take a closer look at McCollum:
Size:
6-3, 195 pounds.
NFL experience:|
McCollum signed with the Houston Texans in 2022 as an undrafted free agent from Sam Houston. He spent that season on the Texans’ practice squad. He signed with the Eagles in 2023. He played three games that season and he played 14 regular-season games for the Eagles in 2024 with three starts. He played 251 snaps last season. He did play in the Eagles’ Super Bowl winning-postseason run.
College:
McCollum went to Sam Houston.
Raiders ties:
McCollum was in Philadelphia with new Raiders’ front-office executive Brandon Hunt. McCollum’s twin brother, Zyon, was in Tampa Bay with Raiders general manager John Spytek the past three seasons.
How he will fit in with Raiders:
McCollum, 26, replaced Thomas Harper, who was waived, on the Raiders’ roster. The Raiders have four safeties on the 53-man roster, starters Jeremy Chinn and Isaiah Pola-Mao, Chris Smith and now McCollum. He is a big safety will likely likely be able to carve out a role as a special teamer and and a backup.
