We’ll go with back-to-back specialists for the Raiders. The last thing any coach wants to worry about with their kicker, punter, or long snapper is the player being an issue off the field. Gruden and the rest of the staff shouldn’t be concerned about that with Liam McCullough, as he earned an academic honor or award every year at Ohio State.
