The Las Vegas Raiders signed veteran defensive tackle Foley Fatukasi as a free agent recently and he made the 53-man roster.

Let's take a closer look at Fatukasi:

Size:

6-4, 318 pounds.

NFL experience:

Fatukasi, 31, is entering his ninth NFL season. He has played for the New York Jets, Jacksovnille Jaguars and Houston Texans, who he sent the past two seasons. He has played in 90 regular-season games with 64 starts.

Drafted:

Johnson was drafted in the sixth round in 2018 by the Jets.

College:

He went to UConn.

How he will fit in with Raiders:

Fatukasi has a chance to be part of the rotation at defensive tackle. The team needs stout run stuffers and Fatukasi has had success. In fact, he was one of their best run defenders in the preseason when much of the unit struggled in that area. Fatukasi was a nice singing late, considering he was added during training camp. He has plenty of experience.
