The Las Vegas Raiders are expected to carry a significant burden in the upcoming season, with high hopes from fans for a return to the postseason following a two-year absence.
Head coach Antonio Pierce will have a lot of responsibility, and it seems that the 45-year-old has already discovered a valuable asset in the form of second-year wide receiver Tre Tucker, which could greatly benefit the team.
Pierce is evidently impressed with the performance of his young wide receiver during the offseason. In fact, the Raiders’ decision-maker has already expressed his confidence in the potential for a successful year ahead for the former third-round selection.
“Don’t look at the size, don’t mention that,” Pierce said, via ESPN. “Watch him play. He’s the biggest guy out there. He had a hell of an offseason. . . . Everything that we talked about working on, he took that to another level. And you could see the look in his eye of a confident player, of a guy that’s just going to constantly get better. He’s pushing.”
