Off an ACL injury ...

ALAMEDA -- To the Oakland Raiders is their second pick of the fourth round, is wide receiver Arman Shields.

Shields tore his ACL last season for Richmond in the team's second game. But Shields (6-0, 194) is said to have sub-4.4 speed in the 40, so he makes sense for Al Davis.

Here's how he did at the NFL Combine, per the Richmond Athletics site:

Shields ranked as a top performer in each of the seven physical drills run during the Combine. He toasted the field in both the 20-yard and 60-yard shuttles, posting the only sub-four-second time in the 20-yard (3.96) and the only sub 11-second time in the 60-yard (10.87).

His time in the 3-cone drill was second (6.67) as was his mark in the broad jump (10'8"). Shields was tied for second in the vertical jump (37'5"), posted the fourth-best mark in the bench press with 19 reps, while running the 40-yard dash in sixth-fastest time of 4.44.
