In the past two days both CBS Sports and Pro Football Focus put out ‘Top 25 NFL player under 25’ lists (I guess it’s just the thing to do). And there was nary a Raider among them. Raiders fans will probably have beef with at least one omission, but you can’t really be too upset. The Raiders haven’t gotten much from their younger players lately.
Of all the Raiders players under 25, the only one you could make even a quasi legitimate argument for is Amari Cooper (23). Coop had over 1000 yards in each of his first two NFL seasons, going to the Pro Bowl both years.
