Ra'Mello Dotson

Raiders signed Kansas CB Ra’Mello Dotson.

A four-year starter for the Jayhawks, Dotson (6’0/192) brings extensive experience and ball production from the outside cornerback spot in Brian Borland’s zone-heavy scheme. Dotson posted 12 career interceptions, returning four for touchdowns, while showing a natural feel for route anticipation and zone vision. His instincts pop on film, especially when jumping underneath throws with aggressive ballhawking angles. Dotson led the team in PBUs in both 2023 and 2024 while tying the school record for career pick-sixes with four. However, his Relative Athletic Score (5.83) reflects pedestrian speed (4.59s 40-yard dash) and limited burst, potentially capping his upside in man coverage. He can get grabby downfield and lacks recovery juice when beaten, but he brings a confident, reactionary mindset with proven production. Dotson fits best in a Cover-2 or quarters-based system where his awareness and click-and-close ability can be maximized. Solid special teams value adds to his appeal.
