Raiders quarterback Derek Carr approached Kelechi Osemele for the welcome-to-the-team hug as one would approach a boulder on a mountain climb.
“I couldn’t believe how big he is,” Carr said Monday of the team’s new 6-foot-5, 335-pound guard. “He is jacked. Just a real freak of nature.”
Carr thanked Osemele for coming to the Raiders, to which his new bodyguard replied, “No problem. You will have all day to pass.”
The offensive line, with the addition of Osemele (who was with Baltimore) and the re-signing of left tackle Donald Penn, is one reason so many people are excited about the Raiders.
