A new special teams ace aims to bolster the Raiders' struggling coverage units.San Diego TodayThe Las Vegas Raiders have signed linebacker Segun Olubi as a free agent. Olubi, 26, has primarily played on special teams during his NFL career, which has included stints with the San Francisco 49ers and Indianapolis Colts. He has never appeared in a game with the 49ers but has played in 51 career games, mostly as an impact player on special teams.
Why it matters
The Raiders have struggled on special teams in recent seasons and are hoping Olubi can provide a boost in that area. As a strong special teams contributor, Olubi should help improve the Raiders' coverage and return units.
The details
Olubi is 6-foot-0, 230 pounds and played college football at San Diego State. He has never appeared in a game with the 49ers but has played in 51 career games, primarily on special teams. Last season, he blocked a punt by the Raiders' A.J. Cole.
