Raiders Rookies Stepping Up | Las Vegas Raiders News

The Las Vegas Raiders are riding a wave of rookie momentum heading into their next preseason clash with the Houston Texans, after a shaky loss to Arizona. Young stars like Jack Bech—clutch on third downs with three catches including a TD—and Charles Grant, who opened holes as a left tackle backup, are making serious impressions. QB Fernando Mendoza’s debut was solid, throwing for nearly 100 yards and a score, earning praise from defenders. Right guard Caleb Rogers is in the mix for a starting spot, showing improved pass blocking, while running back Mike Washington Jr. delivered a jaw-dropping 53-yard run. With talent like this emerging, the Raiders’ offense could be a real threat this season. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
