Las Vegas Raiders at Cleveland Browns: 3 Raiders to watch in Week 15
Divine Deablo
This is a new name here for many reasons. Not only did the rookie linebacker get his first start on Sunday, but he also led all linebackers in snaps with 52.
The start was due to starting linebacker Denzel Perryman missing the contest due to injury, but Deablo proved that he should be given more chances after maybe not a dazzling performance in the blowout, but a valiant one.
He was second on the team in tackles in this game and was the best linebacker for a defense that had more than a few struggles in this contest.
Moving forward and with a season on the brink of collapse, Deablo will likely be given more chances at the linebacker spot, as outside of Perryman, has not had any consistent or able bodies to push against opposing offenses.
Keep an eye out for the converted safety from Virginia Tech. His blend of size and speed is needed on this defense, and defensive coordinator Gus Bradley will surely find several ways to get the rookie linebacker involved in this matchup on Saturday.
