Las Vegas Raiders: 4 key players who need to improve in 2023
Tre’Von Moehrig
Few Raiders went into the 2022 NFL season with more hype than Tre’Von Moehrig, the 2021 second-round pick who thrived as a rookie in 2022. Unfortunately, Moehrig was another in a long line of Raiders young players who fell victim to the second-year slump and has some real question marks going into the 2023 campaign.
For the Raiders to succeed in the AFC West, they have to get better play from their defense next season, and some of that pressure falls on Moehrig entering Year 3. The AFC West boasts some of the best young quarterbacks in the NFL, and the hope was that Moehrig would lead a rebirth in the secondary in 2022, and beyond.
The Raiders have a lot of questions on defense entering 2022, and the secondary is at the forefront of their issues. If Moehrig struggles next season, he could be another promising young safety to be shown the door without ever reaching his full potential.
