Losing is bad enough, but some of the Oakland Raiders players combined that losing with a rough individual season as well.

There was a lot of disappointment to go around for the 2018 Oakland Raiders, a team that was looking to rebound from a troubled 2017 only got worse, and they now find themselves in the ever common rebuild mode. This is the eight time since 2003 that the Raiders have finished with four or fewer wins.

The roster is once again short on blue-chip talent, and the team is going to need multiple home runs in the draft and free agency to regain respectability. Because many of the players Jon Gruden thought might have a positive impact in 2018 did not exactly live up to the hype.

So as we recap the 2018 campaign which players, in particular, had the most disappointing year?

Whether it was injuries that limited a promising season, a lack of scheme fit or guys just flat out playing bad here are a few of the players I think will want to quickly put 2018 in the rearview mirror.
