The Las Vegas Raiders added an elite edge rusher in Yannick Ngakoue, and that will have a ripple effect on the rest of the defensive line.

The Raiders lone Free Agent signing Monday was none other than the fantastic speed rusher Yannick Ngakoue. Ngakoue started his career in Jacksonville when now-Raiders defensive coordinator Gus Bradley was the Head Coach.

Bradley’s defenses have always favored the smaller speed rushing types of player; Bruce Irvin in Seattle, Ngakoue in Jacksonville, and Melvin Ingram in Los Angeles.
