5 biggest disappointments for the Las Vegas Raiders in 2020

Cory Littleton, Linebacker

Cory Littleton has not been horrible by any means this season, but he has not competed anywhere near the level that Raiders fans had hoped. Littleton was considered by most to be the biggest signing for the Raiders, but he has not made much of a difference so far.

Littleton was brought in to fill a void that the Raiders have had for years; a linebacker with the speed to be able to hold their own in coverage. Although these are not all direct stats against Littleton, he was brought in with hopes that he could cover some of the best tight ends in the league, but that has not been the case.

Travis Kelce had a massive game against the Raiders, recording eight catches for 108 yards and a touchdown. Not only has Littleton not been as advertised in coverage, he has also missed a ton of tackles in the middle of the field when running backs get to the second level. \

Whether Littleton is not playing at a high level, or if he is not being put into positions to succeed, it is hard to argue that Littleton has been a let down so far.
