Tanner Muse answered his phone late Friday night and heard Las Vegas Raiders head coach Jon Gruden on the other end. Gruden told Muse he needs bigger shoulder pads and needs to be ready to play linebacker.
Muse was picked with the 100th overall selection in the third round by Las Vegas.
“I see myself being a full-bore special teamer. Just a special teams war daddy,” Muse said. “I see myself getting into some linebacker packages and doing whatever I can as a linebacker and special teamer.”
Muse said contact with the Raiders was limited to a Zoom call last week.
