3 first-year Las Vegas Raiders the team should bring back in 2023

Mack Hollins

Much of the wide receiver talk this past season revolved around two men, Davante Adams, and Hunter Renfrow. Adams came in and became a record-setting wideout in Year 1 with Las Vegas, setting the team’s single-season receiving yards record, while Renfrow struggled with injuries in his first season after signing his new deal.

However, it was a third wide receiver that quietly put together an outstanding season, and one that we believe should be back in the Silver and Black next season. Mack Hollins had a career year in Year 1 with Las Vegas, giving the team the kind of No. 2 weapon on the outside that kept defenses honest all season long.

If Hollins returns, the three-headed monster of Adams, Renfrow, and he at the position would make any free-agent quarterback want to come to Las Vegas. He plays the game with passion, can make big plays, and did enough in his first season to warrant at least another one-year deal to return to the Raiders.
