The Las Vegas Raiders need major improvement from these five players for them to succeed, or the player to make the 53-man roster this offseason.

The 2022 Las Vegas Raiders could be one of the best in the AFC, after an exciting offseason that brought in some high-level talent. We have written about all of the additions, but here, we look at some returning players that have to improve in a big way this offseason.

The truth is, Las Vegas brought in talent at every position group this offseason, making it even harder to earn a spot on the 53-man roster. This is a group of returning players who either need to prove they deserve to start in 2022, or even make the team.

Clelin Ferrell

From the day the franchise took him with the No. 4 overall pick, Clelin Ferrell has remained a head-scratcher and someone who has yet to live up to that draft stock. Not saying he is a bad player by any means, as he has served a purpose on the Raiders’ defense, but based on production, he could have been a Day 3 pick.

In 2022, with a new regime in place, Ferrell is going to have to prove he belongs and put together a solid offseason. The Raiders bolstered the defensive line in a big way and got better in the interior, and coming off the edge, so this is a make-or-break summer for Ferrell.
