Raiders Outlook: Need For Speed

In terms of pure speed, there’s only one wide receiver on the Las Vegas Raiders roster — currently — that fits the bill: Tyron Johnson. Suffice it to say, but the Silver & Black has a need for speed as having one lone burner isn’t ideal.

Not in today’s pass-happy NFL. Now, don’t get it twisted.

The Dave Zielger and Josh McDaniels wide receiver room in Henderson, Nevada is an impressive group, especially with the addition of bona fide No. 1 wide receiver Davante Adams. Adams along with slot dynamo Hunter Renfrow give the Raiders supreme route technicians who leave defenders shook with their precise ability to get in and out of breaks moving both diagonally and vertically with little wasted motion.
