3 reasons Gus Bradley was the right hire for the Las Vegas Raiders
By Brad Weiss
Bradley can improve the Raiders secondary immediately
What Bradley is most known for is his work with the Seattle Seahawks, as he was the architect of the team’s Legion of Boom defense. That defense relied on the excellent play from his secondary, and the hope is that he can come in and help the careers of the likes of Damon Arnette, Johnathan Abram, and Trayvon Mullen.
Based on the scheme, Abram is going to play a huge role in the success of the Raiders next season, and hopefully, his first full season in the NFL will help him grow and minimize the mistakes in 2021. The Raiders have used a bunch of draft capital on the secondary, selecting Abram and Arnette in the first round, and Mullen in the second, and outside of Mullen, they have not gotten much back in terms of their investment.

Los Angeles had seven different defensive backs get interceptions this past season, including three from Michael Davis, and two from Rayshawn Jenkins. Outside of Chris Harris Jr., none of them were household names, as he proved he can get strong secondary play without necessarily having star power back there.
