The Las Vegas Raiders spent draft picks and free agency money on the secondary this offseason in the hopes that the group can finally round into a strength. It has been years since the Raiders have had a secondary that the fan base could be proud of, but in 2023, they may have brought in the right blend of veterans, and young players.
Rookie Jakorian Bennett looks all the part of a starting cornerback, Marcus Peters is a former All-Pro, and the hope is, Nate Hobbs can rebound from a tough 2022 campaign. At safety, the addition of Marcus Epps should help Tre'Von Moehrig bounce back from a rough 2022 season as well, so overall, the starting talent, and the depth behind them is much better than it was a year ago.
Playing in the AFC West, the Las Vegas Raiders deal with some of the elite quarterbacks in the NFL twice a season. Patrick Mahomes is the gold standard at the position, and Justin Herbert is having one of the best starts to an NFL career, statistically, in the history of the game.
However, the Raiders will also face some tough signal-callers outside of the division in 2023, including these three potential All-Pro players.
