If there’s one thing the Oakland Raiders won’t be missing in their secondary this season, it’s confidence. Swagger. Bravado. They’ve apparently got those in spades this year.
Confidence is hardly what you’d expect from a unit that gives up yards by the bushel and ranked near the bottom of the league in virtually every metric available for the last few years running.
But, that’s what an offseaon rife with change will do for a team. Bringing in a new coach and large parts of the roster is like hitting the reset button.
And newly-signed cornerback Rashaan Melvin is wasting no time in trying to inject some confidence and swagger back into the Silver and Black.
