Raiders fullback Marcel Reece hopes to be more involved this year

Marcel Reece is a big boxing fan. Must explain why the Raiders’ Pro Bowl fullback keeps changing weight classes to keep opponents guessing. And reaching.

For the second straight offseason, the 6-foot-1 University of Washington alum has dropped 15 pounds and now comes into the 2015 regular season at a fighting 225.

“Just wanting to be more explosive than ever,” Reece said, “while continuing to learn and become a smarter player. Putting the explosiveness together with the intelligence and the experience.”

All he needs now is some touches. Reece is encouraged about that, after having his rushing attempts plus receptions drop from 111 to 78 to 58 the past three seasons.
