Vadal Alexander is one player who showed significant improvement at Oakland Raiders training camp this summer.

The seventh-round rookie reflected on the experience and the progress he has made at the conclusion of camp on Tuesday.

Via the Raiders' official website:

"It went well, got a lot better throughout the camp. I got to play in my first game in the NFL, but mainly it was good working with the guys, and gaining some camaraderie with the other offensive lineman."

It didn't look like Alexander would make the roster at the beginning of camp, simply because of the depth of talent along Oakland's offensive line. Now he is listed as the second-string guard and could land a roster spot due to his versatility and upside.

If the Raiders keep 10 linemen, Alexander is a virtual lock to make the team. If they only keep nine, Alexander will have to steal a roster spot from either center Ross Burbank or tackle Matt McCants.
