Another opportunity, another impressive outing from Aidan O’Connell. The Las Vegas Raiders rookie quarterback proved to be a smooth operator again during the team’s 34-17 win over the Los Angeles Rams on Saturday night.
Those wanting to see consistency from the fourth-round pick got it. O’Connell was confident both pre snap and in the pocket, started in the face of pressure, and delivered the football quite well. The Purdue product completed 11 of 18 passes for 163 yards and two touchdowns — both of impressive variety that required his targets to not only make the grab, but stay inbounds.
