Don’t count David Amerson among the group of people that was surprised Perry Riley Jr. put together an impressive debut for the Oakland Raiders just days after signing with the team.
Amerson and the veteran linebacker played together in Washington for two seasons before Amerson headed west to join the Silver and Black, but during their time together, Riley certainly made an impression on the athletic cornerback.
“I played with Perry, so I knew what kind of player he is, strong, athletic, physical, smart; he has everything you look for in a linebacker,” said Amerson.
