Las Vegas Raiders: Derek Carr to zero in on another No. 15

2021 NFL season

Now, with Brown putting on number 15, there is hope that lightning can strike a third time, and honestly, Brown has the potential to be even better than Crabtree or Agholor. In his career, Brown has had two thousand-yard seasons, which is better than what Crabtree or Agholor had before joining Las Vegas.

One of those 1000-yard seasons only came two years ago, where he helped the Buffalo Bills make the 2019 playoffs.

Last year, Brown struggled to stay available for Buffalo, battling injuries throughout 2020. This obviously hurt his production, but look for Brown to bounce back in 2021 and have a good year with Las Vegas. He’s a valuable veteran talent who knows how to make plays. And, if history tells us anything, it’s that Carr pairs well with a veteran receiver wearing 15.

Las Vegas will open with a tough slate, as they welcome the Baltimore Ravens to Allegiant Stadium for Monday Night Football in Week 1, and then travel to Pittsburgh the following week. Hopefully, Carr and company can have some solid chemistry before Week 1 kicks off, as they are going to need all the offensive firepower they can muster.
