The Las Vegas Raiders made major changes at skill positions on offense this offseason and Austin Hooper was at the center of the action.
As they reconstructed the top spots at tight end, the Raiders brought in the veteran to be a key part of the offense. They later drafted standout Notre Dame tight end Michael Mayer in the second round as they both away from the Darren Waller-Foster Moreau combination.
In addition to signing Hooper, Las Vegas added fellow veteran free agent O.J. Howard before drafting Mayer. However, Howard was released early in training camp.
