The Las Vegas Raiders are going to look a lot different during the 2022 NFL season, and here are some returning players to keep an eye on during OTAs.
The Las Vegas Raiders had a solid free agency and early trading period, as well as adding some key players via the 2022 NFL Draft. Now, the attention turns to the practice field, where they will try and make a return trip to the playoffs this upcoming season.
Here, we look at three Raiders to keep an eye on during OTAs.
3 Las Vegas Raiders to watch as OTAs open later this month
Denzelle Good
When Good has been on the field for the Raiders the past 4 seasons, he has arguably been one of the best linemen the Raiders had. Outside of Kolton Miller, he was probably lined up to be the Raiders’ second-best lineman last season before his ACL tear. Good is expected to be on the field soon and the new regime has elected to keep him despite his $4 million cap hit that was not guaranteed.
Good will compete at both guard spots with John Simpson, who started 17 games last season, 2021 first-round pick Alex Leatherwood, 2022 3rd round pick Dylan Parham, and veteran Jermaine Eluemunor. If Good proves to be healthy, he should easily beat out any of those options and play left guard.
Good also held up well playing right tackle at times in 2020 and could be an option if Brandon Parker continues to struggle.
