Las Vegas Raiders: Players who could exceed expectations in 2022

Jermaine Eluemunor

The biggest question mark on this Raiders roster heading into the 2022 season is the offensive line. Las Vegas knows what they have in Kolton Miller, one of the best young offensive tackles in the game, but the rest of the offensive line will have to step up in a big way if the Raiders hope to utilize all of their elite weapons on that side of the ball.

During the preseason, we saw Alex Leatherwood struggle in a big way to hold the right tackle spot, and he has since been released and signed by the Chicago Bears. That opened up the right tackle position for Jermaine Eluemunor, a player I believe will take advantage of his opportunity in 2022.

Eluemunor has been around the block and has never really established himself as a legitimate starter at the NFL level. With the Raiders, he has to be a constant for a very young offensive line, and if he can hold down the right tackle spot, this Las Vegas offense is bound to be one of the best in the game in 2022.
