Ricky Manning Jr. is taking a grounded approach when it comes to his Las Vegas Raiders cornerbacks. The Silver & Black’s new position coach is a player-turned-coach who not only performed at a high level during his six-year NFL career, but spent the next 12 seasons coaching up prep, collegiate, and pro defenders before landing in the desert.
Manning Jr., who had a brief stint as a Raider back in 2009 in the offseason before being waived, comes over from the New York Jets where he was on Robert Saleh’s staff as a defensive assistant, a post he got in 2021.
