11. Bruce Irvin

Baby Reggie. Bruce Irvin signed in Oakland this offseason and immediately became a fan favorite, thanks to his recruiting efforts on Twitter of other players.

When the season actually starts, Irvin will provide even more reason to be a fan favorite, and that’s with his play on the field.

Irvin’s familiarity with Ken Norton Jr. should offer immediate dividends, as picking up the Raiders defense should be a breeze. He’ll also be playing with Khalil Mack, Dan Williams, Mario Edwards Jr. and eventually (hopefully) Aldon Smith. He’ll have so much room to operate, that he could be in line for a big year.
