A Raiders veteran claims that one of the new rookies will be “dangerous.”
The new-look Las Vegas Raiders are building something as they’ve got some young talent that they can mold into productive NFL players.
Under new head coach Antonio Pierce, it appears that the Raiders are intent on building through the trenches though they also have acquired skill players that fit the attitude and mentality that Pierce is going for.
Additionally, Las Vegas was fortunate to get Georgia tight end Brock Bowers in the 2024 NFL Draft, despite many people believing he would go in the top 10. Michael Mayer, whom the team chose early in the second round of the 2023 NFL season, will create a formidable combination with Bowers, who was the finest tight end in college football the previous two years. According to Jeremy Bergman of Around The NFL, Mayer doesn’t see Bowers as competition and thinks the two will be a threat to rival teams.
“He’s fast. He’s got great hands. He can block. He can do it all. I feel like we can both do it all,” Mayer said. “I think we’re gonna be dangerous. I think we’re gonna have a great offense. That’s kind of all I’ve got to say about it. It’s going to be a lot of fun.”
