Congratulations to Trevon Moehrig as he propose to his girlfriend

Derek Carr Delievers Strong Statement on Raiders Rookie Trevon Moehrig..

One of the best moves the Las Vegas Raiders all offseason was trading up in the second round of the draft to select former TCU defensive back Trevon Moehrig. He was widely regarded as the best safety in the class but slipped further than anybody expected. After getting accused of making many reaches over the years, the team finally got some really good value in Moehrig.

He’s a rookie but the Raiders are going to need him to step up this season. If things work out in training camp, he should be a Week 1 starter at free safety. Luckily, he’s quickly making an impression at practice. On Wednesday, he made an impressive pass breakup on a pass to Hunter Renfrow from Derek Carr.

Carr remembered the play after practice and had strong praise for the rookie.

“This guy can actually cover so it’s impressive – especially Hunter, that guy doesn’t get covered,” Carr said of Moehrig’s play Tuesday. “God bless Moehrig, the next day we go out there and he has to cover Hunter, he doesn’t like to get covered twice. When he lines up and accepts that challenge, it’s a mismatch for the defense – a safety on a slot receiver. But he lined up, accepted that challenge and he made the play.

“That excites me as a quarterback because I want him to do that to [Patrick] Mahomes. I want him to break those passes up, and I think that will be a good thing for everybody.”
