The smell of fresh-cut grass is filling the airways in Costa Mesa, Calif. as the Las Vegas Raiders begin training camp on Sunday, the 21st. Granted, the Raiders won’t hit the field just yet as rookies will report first to get a few more mental reps with the playbook and the veterans will join them on Tuesday.
So, we’re hitting our last pre-training camp mailbag as the 2024 season is about to get underway!
Q: How big of a jump can Aidan O’Connell realistically take?
A: I wouldn’t expect O’Connell to become an All-Pro or Pro Bowler (and I mean a legit Pro Bowler, not one that makes it because 10 other guys drop out), but he can become a good game manager this season.
