Oakland Raiders: 5 Training camp standouts for 2018
By Randy Gurzi
It’s still early in the 2018 NFL training camp, but these five players are already making their presence known with the Oakland Raiders
This season will be full of intrigue for the Oakland Raiders. After taking a step back in 2017, they decided to clean house and bring in a familiar face in Jon Gruden, who coached the team from 1998 through 2001.
After a decade of calling Monday Night Football games for ESPN, Gruden is once again a head coach and he’s trying to put his stamp on this team once again. He’s got an unorthodox style and has made some rather questionable moves as well.
Their draft was highly criticized as the Raiders selected UCLA offensive tackle Kolton Miller and Sam Houston defensive tackle P.J. Hall much earlier than some thought they should go.
For Gruden and company, they couldn’t care less about that as it’s part of their plan. We now get to see that plan in action as the Raiders are getting their training camp moving along. So far, there are a lot of reports coming out, and we will sift through it all to find you five players standing out during the early portion of their 2018 camp.
