One question that will get sorted out during the Las Vegas Raiders training camp is how the Raiders plan to use cornerback Nate Hobbs.
As a rookie, Hobbs shined covering the slot in the nickel role under defensive coordinator Gus Bradley. However, with the Raiders overhauling their coaching staff before last season, including bringing in a new play-caller on defense in Patrick Graham, the majority of the 2021 fifth-round pick’s reps came on the outside as a wide corner last year.
He also notably struggled in that role a year ago, leading to questions on how Graham and Las Vegas’ coaching staff will opt to use him in 2023.
