So far, he’s making a positive impression.
On Monday, Sheets showed off some breakaway speed with a pair of long runs in 11-on-11 drills.
"I’m seeing some nice run skills," head coach Dennis Allen said after Monday’s practice. "Kory’s a guy that he’s still got some work to do from the protection standpoint, but as far as a turn-around, hand-him-the-ball-and-let-him-go-run-with-it (back), he’s got some very good run instincts and he’s got an exceptional burst when he gets into open space."
Sheets came into camp behind Darren McFadden, Maurice Jones-Drew, Latavius Murray and Jeremy Stewart, but he’s showing he has something to add to the offense. He could evolve into a nice change-of-pace back. Raiders coaches like Sheets’ abilities as a receiver.

The possibility of the Raiders actually standing a chance at beating the Niners still remains distant at best. But it does make you wonder what would happen if The Man That Was Our Future at least made the team...
