Yannick Ngakoue may have heard the whispers.
After a couple of subpar seasons and the fact that he was with three teams in 2020, Ngakoue entered this offseason with some red flags about his pending free agency. Scouts around the league wondered if Ngakoue may have had some issues with not always playing hard.
At the Las Vegas Raiders’ minicamp last week, Ngakoue said he self critiqued himself and he is looking to be a much better player than he was with the Minnesota Vikings and Baltimore Ravens last year. He was originally with the Jacksonville Jaguars and was traded twice in 2020, which is rare.
