Most Valuable Player: Rodney Hudson

When it comes to the word valuable, there are few players in the league that define that word quite like Rodney Hudson. In 2018, Hudson had to be the anchor on an offensive line that was riddled with injuries, and starting two rookie tackles, and still managed to be one of the best in the game at his position.

Since coming over to the Raiders from Kansas City, Hudson has been the consummate professional, serving as an elite talent at teh center position. While the rest of the offensive line had their ups and downs this season, Hudson was once again one of the highest rated centers in the game, despite the fact he was snubbed as an All-Pro and Pro Bowler.

Hudson is locked up for one more year, and you can best believe that the front office is going to want him to retire a Raider. This offensive line went through growing pains with Kolton Miller and Brandon Parker at the tackle spots, and Gabe Jackson and Kelechi Osemele misses time due to injury, but Hudson was old reliable once again.
