The Oakland Raiders rookie tackle Jared Veldheer was just working out on his own in an Archie Manning jersey when he received a call from his new teammate, rookie guard Bruce Campbell to inform him of an upcoming rookie contract. The two met with each other the next day at team headquarter and signed their names on their respective rookie contracts.
The team did not release the detailed information about the two rookies’ contracts, and they even did not tell reporters how long each contract would keep the two rookies with them. If they received two standard rookie contracts, they would be two four-year deals. But according reports, third-round draft pick Veldheer could have a bigger contract than fourth—rounder Campbell, because Veldheer has a better resume than Campbell.
At height 6-foot-8 and weighing 315 pound, Veldheer was a Division II All-American selection and a three-time all-conference pick before he was drafted by the Raiders as the 69th overall pick, while 6-foot-6 Campbell fell to fourth round because of less consistency and intensity in actual games.
