This was a very special moment for Raiders rookie linebacker, Ben Heeney. He was donning an NFL jersey for the first time as the first step in living his dream. For the occasion, his fiance and mom and dad were in attendance to witness it and he didn't disappoint.
Heeney took the field from the start of this game, entering on special teams for the opening kick.
"It was a little nerve wracking at first but once I got out there and got settled in it was a lot easier." said Heeney.
Heeney would get his chance on defense in the second quarter with the second team.
