Oakland Raiders News:

Status of Branch
5/31/2008

Tyvon Branch averaged 28.4 yards on returns while in college at Connecticut and scored on a pair of 97-yard returns during his senior season, in spite of packing 204 pounds into a rock solid 5-11 frame. However, the real reason why the Raiders used their fourth-round draft pick to get Branch, even trading up to do so, is because he can tackle. That’s been a serious issue for Oakland’s secondary almost the entire time the team has been back in Northern California despite frequent attempts by the Raiders to patch the problem. For Branch, however, defensive coordinator Rob Ryan feels they finally might have an answer. “He’s really fun to watch,” Ryan said. We really like the way that young man hits. It’s fun to see a guy throw his body around and tackling. Branch, a cornerback in college, proved that during his final two seasons at Connecticut. After logging only 62 tackles combined during his freshman and sophomore campaigns, Branch had 168 tackles from 2006-07 to go along with 15 passes knocked down. “I really didn’t talk to anybody about it,” Branch said. Ever since then I’ve just been working on strong safety. A couple teams that worked me out were working me out at safety so I knew that it was a possibility.”

The team of Oakland Raiders surprised Branch not only by moving him from cornerback to safety but by even drafting him. Outside of a few brief moments on the phone Oakland hadn’t shown much interest in drafting a player whose primary job initially will be on special teams. Given a chance to ask why the Raiders selected him despite the apparent lack of interest, Branch shrugged his shoulders and chuckled. “I didn’t ask any questions,” said Branch. His career has been on a steady rise ever since he arrived at Connecticut after having won the 2004 National Indoor Track Championship in the 60 meters in high school. Although he played sparingly as a freshman Branch eventually worked his way into the starting lineup the following year after an injury cleared a spot ahead of him. Branch never left once in the lineup. “Everybody is excited about that pick but no one’s as excited as the Raiders and us on defense, that’s for sure.”

Because the Raiders have him slotted at strong safety behind newly acquired Gibril Wilson, the odds are Branch won’t break into Oakland’s starting lineup any time soon. Johnnie Lee Higgins, a rookie last year, will also get a shot but Branch’s speed make him the clear front-runner. “It’s definitely a great opportunity for me,” said Branch, who averaged 28.9 yards on kickoff returns during his senior season at Connecticut. “(The Raiders) lost both their returners so I’m looking forward to stepping up and competing for that job. It’s an adrenalin rush.” The Raiders did, after all, cut their third-round pick last season (Quentin Moses) even though he had a tough preseason.
