The Las Vegas Raiders as a whole have something to prove in 2020, but there are ten players in particular with a little extra motivation this year.

The era of the Las Vegas Raiders kicks off in less than two months, and there are plenty of reasons to be excited about what’s in store. From the incredible stadium that we hope will at least be partly filled with Raider Nation diehards, to the fancy new team facilities, and most importantly the reloaded roster brimming with talent, the Raiders have their fans dizzy with anticipation.

That anticipation will be felt even stronger among the players and coaches as they will be hoping to build a strong foundation in Las Vegas, and begin the era with a successful season they can build on for the future. Players will be looking to improve on their performances with the team in 2019, show they can live up to their new contracts, or even prove that they deserve a big payday when their contracts are up.

The 2020 Raiders roster and staff has a great mix of young talent wanting to prove their worth, and veterans wanting to prove they’re worth the big money deals they received in the past and that mix should make for a successful in 2020. Of course all of the players and coaches are motivated to win and succeed in 2020 but there are ten players in particular who have a little more to prove than others in the the coming season.

We take a look at those ten players here.
