Offensive lineman Denzelle Good embraces ‘fresh start’ with Raiders

Offensive lineman Denzelle Good said he’s grateful for a “fresh start” with the Raiders in what has been a difficult season for the 27-year-old on and off the field.

On Oct. 2, while Good was with the Colts, his brother, Overton Deshan Good, was killed in a drive-by shooting in South Carolina. Good did not play in another game for Indianapolis though he remained on its active roster until being waived Dec. 1.

Good, a 2015 seventh-round pick who started 27 games for Indianapolis, including Sept. 30 this season against Houston, was claimed off waivers by the Raiders on Dec. 3. On Thursday, Good said he’d asked the Colts to release him and has felt “very comfortable” with Oakland.
