Oakland Raiders at Seattle Seahawks: 3 Players to Watch
By Brad Weiss
DE Fadol Brown
Coming off a monster game against the Green Bay Packers, defensive end Fadol Brown is looking to put the finishing touches on a pretty incredible summer. Heading into camp as an afterthought, Brown has looked like a completely different player under new defensive coordinator Paul Guenther, and is showing a knack for getting after the quarterback.
The team signed Brown to a Reserves/Futures contract back in January, and he has steadily worked his way up the depth chart. He has the kind of motor you look for from a young player on the edge, and is getting ringing praise from all over the coaching staff.
Head coach Jon Gruden also is high on Brown, and when it comes to this roster, that is the only endorsement you really need.

Brown has come out of nowhere this summer to really put pressure on the coaching staff to keep him around for the regular season. He has been a beast in all three preseason games, and with a solid capper on Thursday night, you have to think he pushes someone out for a spot on the 53-man roster.
