Las Vegas Raiders sign Tyreik McAllister following breakout season with Tiger-Cats

The Las Vegas Raiders have signed Tyreik McAllister to a future/reserve contract following a breakout season with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.

The five-foot-eleven, 180-pound speedster showed impressive versatility as a CFL rookie in 2023, leading the league in kickoff return average and all-purpose yards.

The 25-year-old recorded 13 carries for 52 yards, 27 receptions for 364 yards and two touchdowns, 41 kickoff returns for an average of 25.3 yards, 56 punt returns for an average of 10.8 yards, and seven missed field goal returns for 408 yards and one touchdown.

The native of Latta, S.C. spent a portion of the 2022 season on the practice roster with the Denver Broncos after going unselected in the NFL Draft out of the University of Charleston. He primarily played running back prior to coming to the CFL.

McAllister worked out for the Raiders on Dec. 20, 2023. All CFL players are eligible to pursue NFL opportunities regardless of contract status via a window that will remain open until free agency gets underway on Feb. 13, 2024.
