Having to look over their shoulders is a healthy thing for the Las Vegas Raiders running backs. Especially considering the team tinkering with the position group’s hierarchy under coach Carnell “Cadillac” Williams.
Expected to use a running back by committee approach — something general manager Tom Telesco hinted soon after he was hired as chief personnel man for the Silver & Black — Las Vegas did add more talent to the room in both free agency and the 2024 NFL Draft. While Zamir White is slated to be No. 1 of the position group, the team brought back veteran Ameer Abdullah, added Alexander Mattison via free agency, and made New Hampshire’s Dylan Laube a sixth-round pick (208th player taken overall) this past April.
