EXOS

Taking things one step further, the Raiders staff includes Joe Gomes and Wesley Miller — formerly of EXOS, one of the biggest athlete performance companies out there.

At the NFL Combine this year, they represented 103 players. How much will Gomes and Miller have an influence in this regard? Impossible for us to say, but it is one more factor to consider.

Del Rio said himself before the 2015 draft that he wants to be “cutting edge”, which is something EXOS specializes in with their training.

Notable EXOS athletes from this draft class include Eli Apple, Vernon Hargreaves, Karl Joseph, Darian Thompson, Jonathan Bullard, Javon Hargrave, Willie Henry, Shaq Lawson, Robert Nkemdiche, Sheldon Rankins, Leonard Floyd, Josh Perry, Jack Conklin, Devonate Booker, Paul Perkins, Josh Doctson and Sterling Shepard.
