GAME PREVIEW
The Oakland Raiders continue their preseason schedule this
week with a second straight road game against the Green Bay
Packers at Lambeau Field on Thursday, Aug. 18 at 5:00 p.m. PT.
This marks the second meeting in the last three years for the two
teams at Lambeau, as the Raiders traveled to Green Bay in 2014
as well. The contest will also be Oakland’s final road game of the
2016 preseason, as they will finish out the slate with two home
games.
The preseason opener last week in Arizona against the Cardinals resulted in a 31-10 victory for the Silver and Black as a number of players made their Raider debuts. A strong rushing attack
paced the offense, as the team averaged 7.9 yards per carry. RB
George Atkinson III posted 97 rushing yards on five attempts with
two touchdowns, including a 53-yard score. QB Matt McGloin
tossed two touchdowns (one apiece to TE Clive Walford and WR
Andre Holmes) and posted a 95.1 quarterback rating. Oakland
forced three turnovers in the contest, as S Nate Allen and CB Neiko Thorpe each recorded an interception and WR Johnny Holton
recovered a fumble forced by LB Korey Toomer on a Cardinals
punt return.
Next week, the Raiders will play at home for the first time in
2016, as they host the Tennessee Titans in a nationally-televised
contest on CBS at Oakland Alameda Coliseum. The Packers will
continue their preseason schedule in the Bay Area with a road
contest against the San Francisco 49ers next week.

total to six, the most ever by a Raiders rookie wide receiver.
• Cooper’s two touchdowns marked the first multi-touchdown
receiving game by a Raiders rookie since 2011.

PACKERS SNAPSHOT
Overview: Entering his 11th season at the helm in Green Bay,
Head Coach Mike McCarthy ranks second in franchise history
with 112 total victories, reaching the 100-win plateau faster than
any active NFL coach. McCarthy led the Packers to its seventh
consecutive playoff appearance (2009-15) this past season, one
of only two NFL teams (New England) to do so over that span, and
will look to make his ninth overall playoff appearance with Green
Bay this year since taking over in 2006.
-----------------------------Offense: The Packers offense is led by 12-year veteran QB Aaron
Rodgers, who threw for 3,821 yards with 31 touchdowns and
eight interceptions last year. WR Randall Cobb led the team in
receptions with 79 for 829 yards (10.5 avg.) and six touchdowns.
TE Richard Rodgers, who tied a team-high eight touchdowns,
added 58 receptions for 510 yards. Rodgers will have another top
receiver available in 2016 as nine-year veteran WR Jordy Nelson
is expected to return from a knee injury sustained in 2015. RB Eddie Lacy led Green Bay on the ground, posting team highs in yards
(758), carries (187) and rushing touchdowns (three), while adding
20 catches for 188 receiving yards and two receiving touchdowns.
-----------------------------Defense: The Packers defense was successful at keeping opponents out of the end zone last year, as they held 10 opponents
to 20 points or less, tied for third in the NFL in 2015. Green Bay
finished the year allowing an average of 20.2 points per game last
year, ranked 12th in the league and the lowest for the franchise
since 2010. Veteran LB Julius Peppers, entering his 15th season,
led the Packers with 10.5 sacks, while LB Clay Matthews ranked
second on the team with 6.5 sacks. Five different Packers finished
the regular season with multiple interceptions, led by the trio of
CB Damarious Randall, DB Micah Hyde and CB Sam Shields, who
recorded three apiece.

28, 2013.
HEAD COACHING MATCHUP
JACK DEL RIO
Jack Del Rio was named the 19th head coach in
the 56-year history of the Oakland Raiders franchise
on Jan. 15, 2015. The appointment marked a homecoming for Del Rio, who was raised in nearby Hayward, Calif.
In his first season with the Raiders, Del Rio oversaw significant improvements as the Raiders more
than doubled the previous year’s win total. Oakland
moved up 15 spots in the NFL rankings in turnover ratio, finishing 17th
in the league (+1) after ranking 32nd in 2014 (-15). The team improved
in five major statistical categories on offense alone, making gains in
total offense, rushing, passing, points per game and third-down efficiency. On defense, the Raiders improved in rushing defense, points
per game allowed and third-down defense. Six Raiders were selected
for the Pro Bowl, matching a franchise record set in 1994.
As defensive coordinator with the Denver Broncos from 2012-14,
Del Rio was part of three-straight AFC West titles and helped lead
Denver to an AFC Championship and appearance in Super Bowl XLVIII
following the 2013 campaign. It marked his second stint under Head
Coach John Fox, as the two also spent the 2002 season together in
Carolina. In all, he has coached 24 players to a total of 33 Pro Bowl
selections.
Prior to joining the Broncos in 2012, Del Rio spent nine seasons
at the helm in Jacksonville. During his head coaching tenure (2003 to
2011) with the Jaguars, the club ranked sixth in the NFL in yards per
game allowed (317.3) and eighth in points per game allowed (20.3).
Under Del Rio, the Jaguars made two playoff appearances in 2005
and 2007, highlighted by the club’s first postseason win in eight seasons with a 31-29 road victory against the Pittsburgh Steelers in a
2007 AFC Wild Card Game.
During his lone season as a defensive coordinator with Carolina in
2002, he inherited the NFL’s worst defense statistically (371.4 yards
per game allowed) and turned it into the league’s second-ranked unit
(290.4 yards per game allowed).
As linebackers coach for the Baltimore Ravens from 1999-2001,
Del Rio tutored a talented group that included Peter Boulware, Ray
Lewis and Jamie Sharper. Baltimore’s 2000 team set the NFL 16-game
record by allowing only 165 points while recording four shutouts and
forcing a league-best 49 turnovers.
A veteran of 11 seasons as an NFL linebacker, he was selected in the
third round (68th overall) of the 1985 NFL Draft by New Orleans and
went on to make the NFL’s All-Rookie Team and earn the Saints’ Rookie
of the Year award. For his career, he played 160 games in the regular
season and totaled 1,078 tackles, 12 sacks and 13 interceptions.
Del Rio was a four-year starter at the University of Southern California, where he earned consensus All-American honors as a senior and
was runner-up for the Lombardi Award, given to the nation’s best lineman or linebacker. Named co-MVP of the 1985 Rose Bowl, Del Rio
recorded 340 career defensive stops, including 58 tackles for a loss. A
standout catcher on the USC baseball team, Del Rio was drafted by the
Toronto Blue Jays in 1981. He was inducted into the USC Athletic Hall
of Fame in May 2015.
Del Rio was a three-sport star in football, baseball and basketball at
Hayward High School in Hayward, Calif. He earned a degree in political
science from the University of Kansas while playing for the Chiefs.
Born on April 4, 1963, in Castro Valley, Calif., Del Rio and his wife,
Linda, have three daughters, Lauren, Hope and Aubrey, and a son, Luke,
who is a quarterback at the University of Florida.

MIKE McCARTHY
When Mike McCarthy was named head coach
of the Green Bay Packers in January 2006, he said
the goal for the franchise would be to win a Super
Bowl, and that would never change.
Since taking over as head coach in ’06, McCarthy has a 112-62-1 overall record (.643), including an 8-7 mark (.533) in the postseason. Entering 2016, his overall winning percentage ranks
No. 2 among current NFL head coaches (min. 75 games). McCarthy’s 112 total victories at the helm of the Packers ranks second in
franchise history, trailing only Curly Lambeau (212). Additionally,
he reached the 100-win plateau faster than any active NFL coach,
needing just 155 games, and with another 10-win season in 2015,
McCarthy’s seven regular seasons with 10-plus wins are a franchise record (since 1921).
McCarthy guided the Packers to a 10-6 campaign in 2010, highlighted by seven wins in the final 10 games. What made the Packers’ championship season even more impressive was the adversity
the team faced due to injuries. Green Bay finished the year with
15 players on injured reserve, and eight of them had started at
least one game during the season. Six starters from the openingday depth chart sustained season-ending injuries in the first seven
games.
The Packers became just the third 10-6 team in NFL history to
win a Super Bowl, and their six losses on the season came by a
combined 20 points. Green Bay never lost a game by more than
four points, but even more impressive, it never trailed by more
than seven points at any point in a game all season.
McCarthy broke into the NFL as a quality-control assistant with
the Kansas City Chiefs in 1993. It was then he worked with Joe
Montana before moving up to quarterbacks coach from 1995-98,
working with starters Gannon, Grbac and Bono. The trio’s total
of 52 interceptions marked the lowest total in the AFC over that
four-year span. After working with McCarthy from 1995-98, Gannon went on to earn all four of his Pro Bowl selections, the 2002
league MVP award and a start in Super Bowl XXXVII with the
Raiders.
McCarthy departed Kansas City in 1999 to become Green Bay’s
quarterbacks coach. That year, the Packers ranked seventh in the
NFL in passing and ninth in total offense. Favre threw for 4,091
yards, the third-highest total in his career at that point.
The following year, McCarthy began a successful five-year stint
as the offensive coordinator of the New Orleans Saints. It became
the most prolific offensive era to that point in the team’s four decades, as the Saints set 10 offensive team records and 25 individual marks. In his first season in 2000, McCarthy was chosen NFC
Assistant Coach of the Year by USA Today. After that drought of
1,000-yard rushers, the Saints had one (either Williams or Deuce
McAllister) in each of McCarthy’s five seasons running the offense.
In 2005, McCarthy served as offensive coordinator for the San
Francisco 49ers.

COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE
The Raiders — who began play in the American Football
League in 1960 — enter their 57th year of professional football
competition, including the last 46 as a member of the National
Football League.
In five memorable decades — the 1960s, ‘70s, ‘80s, ‘90s
and the 2000s — the Raiders have been dominant in professional football since Al Davis first pledged in 1963 to build the
finest organization in pro sports.
During these decades of dominance, the Raiders have
won an AFL championship, four American Football Conference
championships, and three world championships of professional football, participated in five Super Bowls, played in 14
championship games, won or tied for 17 division championships, had 21 playoff seasons, finished 34 seasons at .500 or
better and played in 40 postseason games.
Pro football’s dynamic organization placed first in the AFC
West in 2000, 2001 and 2002 despite playing among the toughest schedules in the NFL in each of those seasons. With their
appearance in Super Bowl XXXVII, the Raiders became the first
NFL team to have had a season end in the Super Bowl in four
different decades.
The Raiders are the only team to have been in Super Bowls
in the ‘60s, the ‘70s, the ‘80s and the 2000s.
The Silver and Black are the only AFC team — and one of
just two NFL teams (Minnesota) — to have a season that advanced to the conference championship game in the ‘60s, the
‘70s, the ‘80s, the ‘90s and the 2000s.
The Raiders are one of only three original AFL teams to
have captured three world championships of professional football with Super Bowl victories. The Raiders are one of only four
AFC teams to have won more than one Super Bowl since 1980.
In their five Super Bowl appearances, the Raiders have
been led by four head coaches and started four quarterbacks.
With four postseason victories, the Raiders were the first
of the AFC West teams to win multiple postseason contests in
the new millennium by six years.
Since 1963, when Al Davis first took over the failing Oakland franchise that had struggled to win only nine of 42 league
games in the initial three seasons of the new AFL and pledged
to build the finest organization in sports, the Raiders have
dominated professional football in terms of consistent victory.
During those memorable 56 years in Oakland and Los Angeles,
the Raiders have won 444 league games, tied 11 and lost 397.
“Commitment to Excellence” has never been an idle
phrase to those who have proudly represented the Raiders organization during the ‘60s, ‘70s, ‘80s, ‘90s and the new millennium as shown by their domination of pro football.
More than 20 of the great players who proudly wore the
Silver and Black, as well as Owner-Leader Al Davis and legendary Head Coach John Madden, have been enshrined in the
Pro Football Hall of Fame. The Raiders have also produced five
Coaches of the Year.
In addition, 66 Pro Bowl players have made 188 Pro Bowl
appearances representing the Silver and Black. In 1970, as the
Raiders began their second decade of play, the merger between the AFL and NFL became a reality on the field. In the
1970 through 2012 period of interconference play, the Raiders
have compiled a remarkable 92-77-1 record against present
National Football Conference rivals.
Another innovation came to professional football in 1970
— “Monday Night Football.” The Raiders’ domination of this
prime-time television series has seen the Silver and Black
build an incredible 37-27-1 record in Monday night play. In
the 43 years of this series, the Raiders are 15-8-0 in “Monday
Night Football” games at home.
Through the decades — the ‘60s, ‘70s, ‘80s, ‘90s and now
the 2000s — the Raiders have had the greatest players, the
greatest coaches, the greatest plays and participated in the
greatest games in the annals of professional sports.
Challengers to Raider domination of professional football
will arise as they have in the ‘60s, ‘70s, ‘80s, ‘90s and the new
millennium. The Raider organization will continue to meet
these challenges.
REGGIE McKENZIE
THE GENERAL MANAGER
Reggie McKenzie, a former draft pick by Raiders Owner Al Davis as a player, enters his 30th
season in the National Football League and his
fourth as General Manager of the Silver and
Black. McKenzie was named to the position by
Owner Mark Davis on Jan. 10, 2012, becoming
the first General Manager of the franchise since
Al Davis was hired as Head Coach and General
Manager in 1963. Owner Mark Davis rewarded McKenzie with a
four-year contract extension in July 2016.
Entering his fifth season as General Manager, McKenzie has
overseen significant changes in the organization’s scouting, player
personnel and football operations departments, while bringing refined football acumen to the Silver and Black. Adhering to a strategy of building a competitive roster through the draft while making
strategic acquisitions via free agency and trades, McKenzie enters
his fifth season at the helm having already earned plaudits from
some of the most respected voices in football.
UNDRAFTED GEMS
Every preseason, hundreds of undrafted free agents vie for a spot
on their team’s 53-man roster. Reggie McKenzie has brought in
numerous players that were not drafted, developing them into significant contributors for the Silver and Black.
- WR Andre Holmes, originally an undrafted free agent with the
Minnesota Vikings in 2011, has two of the Raiders’ top four singlegame receiving totals from 2013-14. He set career highs in 2014
with 47 catches for 693 yards and four touchdowns.
- In 2015, P Marquette King set a franchise record by placing
40 punts inside the opponents’ 20-yard line. In 2014, King set
Raider franchise records in punts (109) and punting yards (4,930).
In his first year as the team’s punter in 2013, King posted numbers
among the NFL’s best in both gross average and punting yards.
With 4,107 punting yards on the year, King finished sixth in the
NFL, and led the league in gross punting with an average of 48.9.
- QB Matt McGloin made his mark on the NFL in his rookie season, making his first career start on Nov. 17, 2013 at Houston. In
that game, McGloin became the first undrafted rookie to throw for
three-or-more touchdown passes in his first NFL start since 1987.
He also became just the second quarterback to throw for three
touchdowns without an interception in his first NFL start since the
NFL-AFL merger in 1970.
- WR Seth Roberts posted five touchdowns in 2015, including
two game-winning touchdowns (Week 2 vs. Baltimore and Week
12 at Tennessee).

LATE-ROUND STEALS
“It definitely helps. When you play on Sunday and a guy goes down
and that player that you have running on special teams now can
play a position and you’re not afraid to put him in, it gives you
depth. They may not be the starter. These young guys, you really
have to give them a couple of years to figure out what they really
are. Some of them, you have to throw them in because of where
you are as a team. Let’s all hope that not only the guys at the top
of the draft but the guys at the bottom, if we can get a couple of
those guys to give us some production within the first three years,
that would be great.” - Raiders GM Regge McKenzie on getting production from lower-level draft picks
GM Reggie McKenzie’s philosophy of building his roster through
the draft includes standout players from the top of the board like
DE Khalil Mack, QB Derek Carr and WR Amari Cooper. But a
good drafting team will make all of their picks count, and McKenzie has done that of late. Here is a look at some players that
McKenzie has drafted in the fourth round or later since 2013 and
have provided solid production:

THAT’S WHAT THEY SAID...
“My approach is old school. I’m a roll up the sleeves type of guy
that wakes up early in the morning like iron workers, and comes
prepared to get the job done.” - Reggie McKenzie, introductory
press conference, Jan. 10, 2012
“He has the courage of his convictions about players that Ron Wolf
had, including blunt assessments of their talent. But Reggie also
has the patience of Ted Thompson; he adheres to the draft-anddevelop model of team-building. The latter means trusting scouts
to constantly fill a pipeline of young talent, empowering coaches
to play and develop young players, and identifying core players
to secure contractually for the future.” - Andrew Brandt, Monday
Morning Quarterback (MMQB), March 12, 2014
“He is an exceptional evaluator of talent. Just has a great skill for
it, especially for guys already in the NFL who might be flying under
the radar. He was my right-hand man for all those years, a big reason why the Packers were good all those years.” - .Ron Wolf, April
24, 2012
“You can see this foundation starting to build there with the things
Reggie [McKenzie] has done. He goes and hires Jack Del Rio, and
I think that’s a pretty good situation. They have a ton of cap space
and an opportunity to build. All of a sudden you look at the AFC
West, and they’re kind of on the rise and you’re very familiar with
the AFC West so you know. It’s very competitive.” - Andy Reid,

punts for 400 yards (50.0 gross average; 49.8 net average) with a long of 65 and six punts downed inside the opponent’s 20-yard line.
It marked the second straight year that a Raider had won a Player of the Week Award for a performance on Thursday Night Football,
as Woodson won AFC Defensive Player of the Week for his play in Week 12 of 2014.

in total defense. Over that time frame, DE Khalil Mack led the NFL
with 10 sacks, two more than the next closest player. CB David
Amerson, who led the NFL over the season in passes defensed,
also led the NFL over the final seven weeks with 17 passes defnsed.

TEAM NOTES
‘COOP’ AND ‘CRAB’
In the Raiders’ Week 2 win against the Baltimore Ravens last
season, WR Amari Cooper (seven receptions, 109 yards and one
touchdown) and WR Michael Crabtree (nine receptions, 111
yards and one touchdown) paced an offense that totaled 448 total
yards. The duo became the first pair of Raiders receivers to each
post 100 receiving yards in a game since Jan. 1, 2012. This also
marked the first time since Dec. 31, 2005 that the Raiders had two
receivers with 100 receiving yards and one touchdown each. Oakland also had two receivers go over 100 yards in a game in Week
12 vs. Tennessee when Cooper teamed with WR Seth Roberts to
accomplish the feat.
Together, “Coop” and “Crab” averaged 9.8 receptions per game
and combined for 15 touchdowns last year. Here is a look at their

BLOCKING KICKS
In 2015, the Raiders blocked five field goals or extra points, which
is the most the team has blocked since at least 1995. Not only is
that figure a single-season Raider mark, it ties for the most in a
season in the entire NFL since 1995. Below is a breakdown of the
kicks that Oakland has blocked last year and how it stacked up
with the rest of the NFL since 1995. Amazingly, DL Denico Autry
blocked three FGs/PATs this season, the most by any player since
2011.

KHALIL MACK
SILVER AND MACK
As the Raiders’ first-round pick in the 2014 NFL
Draft, DE Khalil Mack had lofty expectations in
his rookie season and he met them all and more. Mack finished third in Associated Press Defensive Rookie of the Year voting, falling to St. Louis’
DT Aaron Donald. Proving to be one of the NFL’s
best run defenders and generating pressure on
quarterbacks that didn’t always show up on the stat sheet, Mack
was selected to the Pro Football Writers of America, Sports Illustrated and NFL.com All-Rookie Teams.
In 2015, Mack significantly surpassed the totals from his rookie
year. After setting a new career high with his fifth sack in Week 10,
he more than tripled his career high in sacks.

Most of Mack’s production has come in the second half of the
season, totaling 53 tackles (39 solo) with 11 sacks since Nov. 15,
including three multi-sack games in Weeks 12-14.
Mack had a sack in four straight games from Week 12-15, tying
the second longest streak by a Raider since 2001. The last Raider
with a sack in four straight games was Desmond Bryant in 2012. Mack notched at least two sacks in three straight games, making
him the only NFL player to do so last season. His streak tied the
second longest streak in the NFL since 2001.
Since sacks became and official stat in 1982, only six other players
have recorded more than five sacks in a game in NFL history. Mack
is the sixth player to record five sacks and one forced fumble in a
game. The last player to do so was Aldon Smith for the San Francisco 49ers in 2012. Below is a look at the six players to record five
sacks and one forced fumble in game:

FIRST-ROUNDER
WR Amari Cooper was tabbed as the Raiders’ firstround draft pick in the 2015 NFL Draft and the
fourth-overall selection. He was the highest wide
receiver taken in the draft and the first receiver taken by Oakland in the first round since 2009. After
enjoying one of the most dominant careers a wide
receiver has ever had at the college level, Cooper
saw that success translate to the NFL, as he became the first Raiders
rookie to ever reach 1,000 receiving yards. Cooper also holds the franchise records for receptions and 100-yard games (five) by a rookie.

MICHAEL CRABTREE
‘CRAB’ CROSSES THE BAY
‘CRAB’ IN 2015
When the Raiders signed WR Michael Crabtree
in April 2015, they immediately upgraded their
offense with a proven performer. After being
selected by the San Francisco 49ers in the first
round (10th overall) of the 2009 NFL Draft, Crabtree has caught at least one pass in each of his
94 games played. Before joining the NFL ranks,
“Crab” turned in one of the most prolific receiving careers in college football history, winning the Biletnikoff Award - given to the
nation’s most outstanding wide receiver - in each of his two seasons at Texas Tech. He was the first and only player to win the
coveted award twice.
2015 Highlights

2005.
- In Week 8 (seven rec., 102 yards, 1 TD) and Week 9 (seven rec.,
108 yards, two TDs), Crabtree recorded back-to-back100-yard
games within the same regular season for the first time in his career.
- From Weeks 7-9, caught four TD passes, with at least one TD
reception in three straight games for the second time in his career.

SEBASTIAN JANIKOWSKI
ALL-TIME RAIDER

of Famer and former Raiders WR Tim Brown and moved into first
place on the Raiders’ all-time games played list. Janikowski, who has

Raiders open preseason with 31-10 win over Cardinals
By Jimmy Durkin
August 12, 2016
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- If there were ever a moment to epitomize the first preseason game, it was the Raiders and
Arizona Cardinals taking the field for the opening kickoff Friday and lining up on the wrong sides.
No, it wasn't a crisp debut, but it was a victorious one for the Raiders, who beat the Cardinals 31-10 at
University of Phoenix Stadium.
"It's always nice to get a win," coach Jack Del Rio said. "Clearly, there's a lot of things we need to correct. It's
fun to do with a smile on your face."
The Raiders committed 11 penalties and lost defensive end Mario Edwards Jr. to a first-quarter hip injury.
But they also got two electrifying touchdown runs from George Atkinson III, a pair of touchdown passes by
Matt McGloin, and a solid debut from rookie quarterback Connor Cook.
The bonus on top was a surprise appearance by Karl Joseph. The first-round pick started at strong safety and
played one defensive series.
"I felt good in pregame so I was ready to roll," Joseph said. "They decided to put me in and I was just happy
about it."
Here's what we learned from the Raiders' first of four preseason games:
THREE TAKEAWAYS
Injuries bite: It's hard to get through the first preseason game without an injury. The hope is just to not have
any significant ones.
Edwards Jr. went down with 5:08 left in the first quarter with an injury that eventually required him to be
carted from the sideline to the locker room. A team spokesman confirmed after the game that it was a hip
injury and Edwards left the locker room in crutches.
Del Rio declined to offer anything further.
"I've got a policy about discussing injuries this early in the year," Del Rio said. "We will update in a couple of
weeks. For now, it will stay in-house."
Going deep: The Raiders looked like a team that wants to take shots down the field, with Derek Carr taking
several shots downfield to Michael Crabtree and Amari Cooper.
"It's good to take those shots," Carr said. "Get real live reps at it. Practice is one thing, but when they really
count, it's good to take those shots and see what can happen."
OAKLAND RAIDERS GAME RECAP CLIPS
Tackling work: NFL teams don't tackle to the ground at practice and a first preseason game can show when a
team has a weakness in that area. That was the case Friday as several players failed to either properly break
down in position to make a tackle or didn't wrap up correctly.
THREE WHO HELPED THEMSELVES
George Atkinson III: His chances of making the roster seemed slim coming in, but Atkinson showed something
Friday with a stellar 53-yard touchdown run -- the first of his professional career. Then he added another
touchdown from 35 yards out.
"He is very good and very hungry to be a part of this team," Del Rio said of Atkinson, who had 97 yards on five
carries.
DeAndre Washington: The rookie running back needed a few carries to get his feet wet, then broke through
with a nifty 25-yard run in which he made a nice cut to the hole and later shook a defender. He also had a 32yard reception out of the backfield from Cook and had 43 yards on eight carries.
Cory James: The sixth-round pick figured to be mostly a special teams player as a rookie. But he showed nice
game speed and an ability to cover, particularly when he shadowed running back Kerwynn Williams to force an
incompletion. He finished with five tackles, including one for a loss.
THREE WHO HURT THEMSELVES
Dewey McDonald: The safety's had a nice training camp and is in the mix to be the team's No. 3 safety. But in
his first chance to make a good in-game impression, McDonald struggled.
He had two glaring missed tackles when he tried to throw a shoulder rather than wrap up. He also was flagged
for holding on a punt return that negated a nice gain by Jaydon Mickens.
Joe Hansley: After a strong offseason program, Hansley hasn't looked as good in Napa. He didn't help himself
in Arizona either when he fumbled the only punt he attempted to return. Success as a returner is his best shot
at making the roster and that's starting to fade.
Jalen Richard: The undrafted rookie didn't play after also missing Wednesday's practice with an undisclosed
injury. The fact that Washington played so well and Atkinson flashed with some big plays doesn't help him
when he wasn't able to get out there and state his case.
SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
Backups shine in Raiders’ preseason opener; Edwards hurt
By Vic Tafur
August 12, 2015
GLENDALE, Ariz. — The worst thing imaginable reared its ugly head Friday night in the Raiders’ preseason
opener at University of Phoenix Stadium.
OAKLAND RAIDERS GAME RECAP CLIPS
The cart.
It came out and took defensive end Mario Edwards Jr. off the field after he suffered a hip injury in the first
quarter of Oakland’s 31-10 win over the Cardinals. Luckily, a team source said the injury is not considered
serious.
Edwards made the tackle on a Chris Johnson run for no gain with 4:40 left in the first quarter. He was down for
a while and then hobbled off the field with the help of defensive end Khalil Mack and a trainer. Then the call
went out for the cart.
Edwards, who had just come back from a scary neck injury last season, left the locker room after the game on
crutches. Raiders coach Jack Del Rio had no comment on the injury.
The Raiders’ defense — and their first-team offense — didn’t look so great, but Oakland was bailed out, as it is
in most preseason games, by backup quarterback Matt McGloin. McGloin threw two touchdown passes in
relief of starter Derek Carr, who completed 3 of 7 passes for 44 yards in two series.
Fourth-string running back George Atkinson put the game away with 53-yard and 35-yard touchdown runs.
The former practice-squad player made the most of his opportunity as rookie Jalen Richard missed the game
with a knee injury.
“He is very good and very hungry to be part of the team,” Del Rio said of Atkinson.
While Carr played most of the first quarter, rookie safety Karl Joseph played only one series. But that was more
than the first-round pick expected to, as the coaches and training staff have been bringing him along slowly in
his return from knee surgery last year.
Joseph was out of position on 30-yard pass to Michael Floyd, but he made his first tackle later.
“It felt good to knock some of the rust off,” Joseph said. “I wasn’t as nervous as I thought I would be.”
He had a much better night than his backup, Dewey McDonald. The former Colt and Patriot, who had looked
good in camp, was called for offensive holding, and that may have been the highlight of the night for him. He
missed two tackles, coming in way too high, and was also beat twice on throws.
Safety Nate Allen and cornerback Dexter McDonald, on the other hand, looked good in coverage, as did TJ
Carrie. Cornerback Neiko Thorpe, a forgotten man in camp, had an interception.
Rookie outside linebacker Shilique Calhoun had a mixed night. He showed off his burst at times, but he also
had trouble getting off of blocks. Rookie inside linebacker Cory James also showed off his speed after a quiet
camp.
By the time the third quarter rolled around, most of the first- and second-team players were spectators. That
is, with the exception of defensive tackle Dan Williams. Williams, who started 15 games last season, was out of
shape in offseason workouts and has been behind Justin Ellis and Jihad Ward the first two weeks of training
camp.
Del Rio hasn’t said anything about Williams’ weight, only praising Ellis, but it was clear he was giving Williams
some extra conditioning by having him out there with the scrubs.
OAKLAND RAIDERS GAME RECAP CLIPS
It’s not a big deal, as Del Rio and defensive coordinator Ken Norton Jr. plan to rotate their defensive lineman a
lot. Especially with Ward and Edwards able to play inside and outside.
Hopefully Edwards is able to do that — and escape another serious-looking injury.
Edwards sprained his neck in Week 15 of his rookie season last year. He ended up wearing a brace for months
before he was finally cleared in June. He’s had an eventful camp, hurting his hand in a fight with guard Kelechi
Osemele last week.
3 notables
Matt McGloin: Backup quarterback threw his 11th and 12th career preseason TD passes, erasing all the
interceptions he threw in training camp the past two weeks.
DeAndre Washington: The fifth-round pick is trying to carve out a third-down role, and he showed his moves
and burst with a 25-yard run and 32-yard catch.
George Atkinson III: An afterthought in the backfield, the RB showed off his elite speed when he bounced a run
outside and flew down the right sideline for a 53-yard touchdown. And then he added a 35-yard TD.

Instant Replay: Raiders rise to win preseason opener vs Cards
By Scott Bair
August 12, 2015
GLENDALE, Ariz. – Raiders backup quarterback Matt McGloin dominated a preseason game, as he always does.
Defense and special teams forced some turnovers. Michael Crabtree played like he had superglue on his hands
and even George Atkinson III had two big touchdown runs.
Several players flashed in Friday’s 31-10 exhibition victory over the Arizona Cardinals, while others struggled
some.
Those things matter far less than the health of defensive lineman Mario Edwards Jr., who was helped off the
field and carted from sideline to locker room early on with a hip injury.
The second-year pro is a key component of the Raiders defensive front, typically lined up just inside edge
rusher Khalil Mack on the weak side. Missing him for any length of time during the regular season would be a
blow to an improved defense looking to create havoc up front.
Denico Autry filled in after Edwards Jr. left early in the second defensive series, injuring himself making a tackle
on Cardinals running back David Johnson.
Edwards Jr. was helped off the field by Mack and a Raiders trainer, struggling to walk towards the sideline even
with help. He was carted off the field shortly after that.
OAKLAND RAIDERS GAME RECAP CLIPS
The nature of his injury and its prognosis is unknown at this time. The Raiders did not update Edwards Jr.’s
status during the game.
Friday marked the first game back for Edwards Jr. after he sprained his neck neck in Week 15 last season.
Starters played little in this game, with mixed results.
The first-team offense had some stutters and stops, with quarterback Derek Carr working on his deep ball
while completing 3-of-7 passes for 44 yards in two series. The Raiders scored a field goal on those drives,
highlighted by a 22-yard strike to Michael Crabtree. They also had a few pre-snap penalties they were hoping
to avoid.
The starting defense played just one series as a whole, though the cornerbacks stuck around a bit longer.
Tackling was suspect throughout the game and the Raiders had some pre-snap penalties, which will bother
head coach Jack Del Rio.
Safety Nate Allen, linebacker Cory James and edge rusher Shilique Calhoun were among those playing well.
DeAndre Washington had a nice 25-yard run, Johnny Holton had a 43-yard kickoff return and George Atkinson
III scored on a 53-yard TD run in the third quarter and a 35-yard scamper in the fourth.
Rookie quarterback Connor Cook took over late in the third quarter and completed 7-of-11 passes for 71 yards.
Joseph suits up, starts: Raiders first-round pick Karl Joseph said Tuesday he would be surprised if he played
early in the preseason while being cautious with his surgically repaired knee.
He must’ve been pretty happy trainers took no issue with him playing Friday’s exhibition opener against the
Cardinals. He didn’t play much, but he got on the field.
Joseph played the game’s first series. He took nine snaps and made a tackle, bringing Cardinals rusher David
Johnson down from behind.
Several key defensive players made a similar exit to preserve health, including edge rusher Khalil Mack.
Matt McGloin shines in preseason, per usual: Raiders backup quarterback Matt McGloin has long been a
preseason wonder, making excellent plays when given the opportunity in exhibition games.
He threw touchdown passes on his first two series, including a well-placed fade to Andre Holmes along the left
sideline. He also connected with rookie tight end Clive Walford from 19 yards out, taking advantage of a
missed assignment.
All told, McGloin completed 5-of-11 passes for 41 yards and two touchdowns.
Sitting it out: The Raiders announced before the game that running back Jalen Richard was unavailable. The
undrafted rookie suffered an undisclosed injury earlier this week and, consequently, missed an opportunity to
earn a roster spot.
Cornerback/punt returner Antonio Hamilton and safety Jimmy Hall were also ruled out of Friday’s exhibition.
OAKLAND RAIDERS GAME RECAP CLIPS
What's next: The Raiders have a short week, with several down days between the first and second preseason
games. The Raiders will lay low over the weekend, break camp in Napa after two practices and then travel to
Green Bay for a Thursday game.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Palmer solid, but Raiders reserves dominate
By Bob Baum
Aug 12, 2015
GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Carson Palmer directed a 73-yard drive for a field goal in his one series before the
Oakland Raiders backups dominated their Arizona counterparts in a 31-10 victory in the teams' preseason
opener Friday night.
Derek Carr played two series for Oakland, the second one ending in Sebastian Janikowski's 53-yard field goal.
Raiders starting defensive end Mario Edwards Jr. was taken to the locker room on a cart early in the game with
what a team spokesman said after the game was a hip injury.
Edwards was on crutches as he left the locker room.
Cardinals coach Bruce Arians was unconcerned about the fact his team lost.
"I thought our good players played well," he said. "I got them out quickly. They were successful and showed up
ready to play. Individually there were some really good things with the young players, but collectively it was
not very good."
Oakland backup quarterback Matt McGloin threw a pair of first-quarter touchdown passes after the Cardinals
committed two turnovers in a span of about 30 seconds.
George Atkinson III, listed as Oakland's fourth-string running back, scored on runs of 53 and 35 yards.
"He is very good and very hungry to be a part of the team," Raiders coach Jack Del Rio said.
Palmer completed 3 of 5 passes for 31 yards. The biggest play of the drive came when David Johnson faked out
a defender at the line of scrimmage and raced for a 23-yard gain.
It was "kind of like a little bit of a tease," Palmer said. "You want to get a couple more series in."
Carr completed 3 of 7 passes for 44 yards.
Del Rio said it's "always nice to win" but "there's a lot of things we've got to do better. Penalties overall,
offensively we had two on the first drive that put us in a hole. We didn't tackle very well, especially against the
run."
OAKLAND RAIDERS GAME RECAP CLIPS
CARDINAL SINS
The first turnover came when J.J. Nelson fumbled a punt return and Johnny Holton recovered for Oakland at
the Arizona 19. McGloin passed to a wide-open Clive Walford for a touchdown on the next play.
On the Cardinals' first offensive play after the kickoff, backup Drew Stanton overthrew intended receiver
Jarron Brown and Nate Allen intercepted. Two plays later, McGloin threw to Andre Holmes for the touchdown
and the Raiders led 17-3.
HUMPHRIES WATCH
After being inactive for every game last season despite being a first-round draft pick, D.J. Humphries is
Arizona's starting right tackle. He was solid in run-blocking, but struggled some against the pass rush Friday. He
didn't give up a sack, and much of the time he was going against All-Pro Khalil Mack.
ROOKIE WATCH
Raiders: Safety Karl Joseph, Oakland's first-round draft choice who is coming off knee surgery, played in the
first series and had one tackle.
Cardinals: Third-round draft pick Brandon Williams, who won the starting cornerback job in training camp, had
a rough start Friday. He was beaten several times, including on the Holmes' TD. He improved as the game went
on and recovered Holmes' fumble in the second quarter.
"I thought Brandon competed extremely well," Arians said. "You knew they'd go after him. ... It was a nice
throw-and-fade in the end zone. He'll learn to play those balls better."
POSITION BATTLES
Raiders: Menelik Watson played his first game since an Achilles injury in his bid to win the starting right tackle
job.
Cardinals: With Justin Bethel still recovering from foot surgery, Williams won the starting job at cornerback in
training camp and Arians has said Bethel will have to earn it back. Nelson was the first choice as a punt
returner, but Arians has said he could give John Brown time there, and Nelson's fumble may have made that
even more likely.
QUOTABLE
Palmer on David Johnson (three carries, 31 yards), "Nothing different than what I see every day in practice.
Just runs powerfully, has great vision, he's a phenomenal blocker. .. He's a special player."

Raiders' Neiron Ball on comeback trail again
By Jimmy Durkin
August 2, 2016
NAPA -- Neiron Ball is back feeling 100 percent, finally getting to experience what he considers normal football
soreness from training camp.
The Raiders' second-year linebacker has spent plenty of time dealing with other pain, including a knee injury
last year that required two surgeries and stripped away a large chunk of his rookie season.
"It's definitely a relief," Ball said Monday of his return to action. "Now I'm just going hard each and every day,
trying to build it stronger and stronger, keep it strong."
Ball knows all about bouncing back from pain. He lost both parents by the time he was 10. He had brain
surgery at 18 following his freshman year at Florida when he was diagnosed with arteriovenous malformation,
an abnormal connection between arteries and veins that can lead to bleeding. He has dealt with knee issues
before, with a senior season injury requiring microfracture surgery.
But it was a rapid recovery from that procedure -- five months later he showed speed and quickness during
Florida's pro day -- that enabled him to become a fifth-round pick of the Raiders in 2015.
When Ball suffered his latest knee injury -- in a Week 7 win in San Diego -- there wasn't a huge concern. He was
expected to miss 4-6 weeks.
As it reached that timeline, Ball briefly returned to the practice field for some work on the side. That didn't last
long and the Raiders eventually placed him on season-ending injured reserve.
Ball revealed the reason Monday when he met the media for the first time since his October 2015 injury.
"I was expecting to be back and it ended up I had to get another surgery," Ball said. "It was definitely tough,
but it was the cards I was dealt."
The toughest part of those cards Ball was dealt was the progress he was making just as he suffered the injury.
The game in San Diego marked his second straight start. He dazzled the week before in a home loss to the
eventual Super Bowl champion Denver Broncos, playing a large role in holding tight end Owen Daniels to no
catches on five targets. (Opposing tight ends had averaged eight catches and 97 yards through the first four
games.) He also had a crucial fumble recovery and sack in the fourth quarter of a Week 3 win in Cleveland that
snapped an 11-game road losing streak.
But he was injured in the first quarter against the Chargers and all that progress was stalled.
"That was definitely one of the most difficult parts about it," Ball said. "(But) I look at it as that was last year.
I've got to start over again."

OAKLAND RAIDERS FEATURE CLIPS
Ben Heeney, another linebacker the Raiders took in the fifth round of the 2015 draft, has been close with Ball
since meeting him at last year's combine. He has seen what Ball has endured to make it back.
"I can imagine it's hard for him, missing last year after he started off having a good year," Heeney said. "I think
he's just ready to be out here and be back out there with the guys."
Ball said he started feeling 100 percent around the time of organized team activities in May, but the team kept
him out until he reported for pre-training camp July 24 with rookies, quarterbacks and other returning injured
players.
"I had two surgeries and there's no need for me to be in a rush," he said.
Ball is being integrated back slowly, working with the reserve units.
"I think my reps are down right now, just to ease me back into things," Ball said.
His coverage skills should lend themselves well to work in nickel packages and he's confident he can build back
to where he was. Now it's just about getting back into the flow of football after such a long break.
"One thing you can't simulate is football," Ball said. "The different movements and the different plays, you
can't simulate on the side training with trainers. You got to actually be out there."
After nine months out, Ball is finally back out there.

Calhoun cross training to be Raiders' super-sub edge rusher
By Scott Bair
August 7, 2016
NAPA – Shilique Calhoun is used to attack mode. He spent most every snap at Michigan State with the
opposing backfield in mind, where he was a regular in college.
He had 27 sacks as a Spartan, including 18.5 in his last two seasons. He was a traditional defensive end then, a
pretty good one at that. The three-time second-team All-American has been asked to step back occasionally as
a strongside linebacker. That’s a hybrid position generally rushing off the edge, but Calhoun must be ready for
anything at that spot.
The third-round pick is excited about a role being learned during his first NFL training camp.
“I don’t believe that what they have me doing is outside my reach,” Calhoun said. “I’ve covered in college,
although not as much as I’m being asked to do now, and I think it’s well within my athletic abilities. There are
new responsibilities, and I haven’t been put in a situation where I felt uncomfortable.”
The Raiders want Calhoun ready for anything, as the primary backup rushing off the edge. He’ll be used on a
rotational basis at least, and will likely play a key role in moments this season.
“We try and cross train them to do multiple roles so that we have flexibility when the fall gets here,” Del Rio
said. “Shilique’s done a nice job of being able to be a guy that can play when they’re behind Khalil [Mack] or he
can play in there behind Bruce [Irvin]. They’re going to do both. We like them coming forward a lot, but they
do have coverage responsibilities from time to time and so Shilique is learning, much like they’re learning how
to do both.”
Calhoun left college a relatively polished pass rusher, with plenty of tools on the utility belt that help him get
to the quarterback. The Raiders are adding more, but ultimately want to highlight his athleticism off the edge.
“You have to advance your skills at this level, but it was so great to hear them say they want me to be myself,”
Calhoun said. “They drafted me for a reason, because they like my style of play. We’re trying to expand my
repertoire a little more to counter what people have planned for you.”
Calhoun has flashed threatening agility working with the second unit. He squared off against veteran Austin
Howard earlier this week, and used great quickness to sneak underneath the big tackle and make a beeline for
the quarterback. He earned a simulated sack then, one of several plays that indicate he’s adjusting well to
professional football.
“I have a long way to go, but I’m working through the process,” Calhoun said. “I believe I have a great
understanding of my role and what I’m being asked to do in terms of concepts of the defense. I’ve matured
mentally, and I’ve gained some good weight. I’m right where I should be, knowing I have tons of work left to
do. I have high expectations, and I want to exceed those.”

OAKLAND RAIDERS FEATURE CLIPS
Calhoun doesn’t like simulated sacks, but knows real deals only come in games. His first game kicks off Friday
at Arizona, where he hopes to bear fruit from this training camp’s labor.
“We have some really good tackles, but I do try to get home a lot,” Calhoun said. “I’m not sure how much I'm
doing that. We’ll have to see how efficient I am in the regular season, when it really counts. If I can’t finish, a
good rush doesn’t mean a thing.
“This first preseason game is a great opportunity for the young players to showcase their talents in a game
situation. I’m excited and ready to go. I’m counting the days down now.”

Raiders' Heeney counts blessings after difficult off-season
By Jerry McDonald
July 31, 2016
NAPA -- The ensuing months since the end of the 2015 season have taught linebacker Ben Heeney about both
life and death.
Heeney, his fiancee Taylor and 6-month old son, Tate, were en route to church on Easter Sunday in his home
state of Kansas when something random and remarkable happened.
"I hit a patch of ice, the car spun out and the oncoming traffic was coming right at me," Heeney said. "The
whole right side of the car was demolished."
Heeney and Taylor walked away from the accident. Tate was taken to the hospital, checked out and given a
clean bill of health.
"God had a plan for me that day," Heeney said.
A few days later, Heeney got word that Brandon Bourbon, a college teammate at Kansas, had dropped out of
sight. Bourbon's body was eventually found in his van in Maries County, Kansas, his death listed as suicide.
"He was my best friend from college," Heeney said. "It was a difficult offseason, I count my blessings every
day."
Heeney may have a heightened sense of perspective at age 23, but it would be inaccurate to say he's more
motivated. A projected starter and defensive signal caller at middle linebacker, Heeney has long been known
for nonstop effort.
As the Raiders completed their first padded practice of training camp Friday, linebacker Bruce Irvin, who signed
as a free agent, sized up his new teammate.
"It's only practice, so I can only imagine what he's like in a game," Irvin said. "He's not the biggest guy, but he
plays bigger than he is."
When the 2015 season ended, most checklists had the Raiders in the market for a classic middle linebacker, a
thumper who would help stop the run.
Heeney, at 6-foot, 230 pounds, doesn't fit the mold in that way, but his style of play could well be a better fit
for the way Ken Norton Jr. wants to play defense.
"He's smart, he's fast and he's relentless," Norton said. "He has a nose for the ball, very instinctive. He's always
getting better. You can't get him out of the film room."

The Raiders released Curtis Lofton, a nine-game starter in 2015, and never made a move to get a middle
linebacker in free agency or the draft. When training camp convened, Heeney was given the helmet with a
green dot, meaning he'll be entrusted as the defensive signal caller, getting radio instructions from Norton.
Heeney's dilemma is a constant balancing act between the first instinct to be a heat-seeking missile and the
voice in his head telling him to be patient and not overrun the play.
"There's a lot of times where I was overaggressive last year," Heeney said. "You definitely want the game to
slow down as far as seeing your reads, but I like to play fast, go get the ball and make plays.
"You definitely want the game to slow down as far as seeing your reads, but I like to play fast, go get the ball
and make plays," Heeney said.
The Easter crash was the second time Heeney escaped a potentially deadly situation. In high school, a
propeller sliced his leg inches from an artery in a boating accident. Heeney recovered in six weeks, but still has
numbness in his left leg in the thigh area.
Given all he's been through, Heeney realizes he's a lucky man.
"I've got a son, my beautiful fiancee and a baby girl on the way -- she's supposed to be here in about two
weeks," Heeney said. "I've got a lot in my life. Hopefully I'll just keep moving forward."

SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
Amari Cooper’s friend, Johnny Holton, may surprise at Raiders’ camp
By Vic Tafur
August 4, 2016
Amari Cooper called it a “once-in-a-lifetime story. I never heard of anything like that until he did it.”
The Raiders’ receiver was talking about a childhood friend who didn’t play high school football and was
discovered by a junior college when he was playing in the park.
That same friend who was walking off the practice field in Napa.
Undrafted free-agent Johnny Holton.
Holton turned some heads with back-to-back deep catches in Monday’s practice, just as he did in that Miami
park five years ago.
“I was starting to think it was over for me and football, but I kept my faith,” Holton said. “I still dreamed about
playing in the NFL one day.”
Holton is one of 11 kids, and because he didn’t take high school seriously, anyway, he got a job working at a
grocery store to help his mom make ends meet.
He loved football; he and his brother had played in the park with Cooper since they were 11, and he still played
in a 7-on-7 flag-football league on weekends. “Our team was called ESPN,” Holton said, smiling. “Lot of
highlight plays.”
A coach from the College of DuPage in Glen Ellyn, Ill., saw Holton in the park when he was in town to see
another player. He liked the highlight plays.
With the door opened, Holton quickly took and passed the GED and scored 15 touchdowns for the Chaparrals
in two seasons.
He transferred to Cincinnati and showed his big-play potential, averaging 19.4 yards per catch (46 for 892) and
scoring 10 touchdowns in two seasons. Holton missed seven games last year with a hamstring injury and
wasn’t a coveted participant at the NFL combine.
Many teams flagged him as too skinny or too raw. The Chiefs even made him work out as a defensive back.
After the draft, Holton had offers from two teams — the Raiders and Lions — when he used a lifeline and
phoned a friend.
“Of course, I gave him some advice,” Cooper said. “I want him to be successful, so I pointed him in this
direction.”
Holton, who is two years older than Cooper, was leaning toward Oakland, anyway.

“I thought it would be good to team up with a friend,” Holton said. “We were never on the same team growing
up.”
Cooper made the Pro Bowl in his rookie season last year, and Holton said that even at 11 years old, Cooper
was a star.
“He was the real deal growing up, too,” Holton said.
Cooper said Holton wasn’t too shabby himself, and his friend already has shown the coaches his ability to beat
defensive backs deep.
“He’s made some great catches here,” Cooper said. “He has qualities you look for in a receiver. No one can jam
him at the line, and he’s fast. He’s developing nicely.”
Holton followed up his nice breakout with a leaping catch Wednesday that got some oohs and aahs from the
fans in attendance.
Raiders head coach Jack Del Rio said he heard the cheers for Holton, but added, “We’ll learn more as we go.”
That’s coach-speak for, “Don’t ask me about a guy we may try to sneak onto the practice squad.”
Making the 53-man roster will be tough, as Oakland is set at the first four receiver spots with Cooper, Michael
Crabtree, Seth Roberts and Andre Holmes. Holton’s chances would improve if he returned punts well, and he
got his first look there Thursday.
He will keep grinding and honor the biggest piece of advice that Cooper gave him: “Never take a day off.”
That won’t be a problem for Holton.
“I am so blessed to be wearing the Silver and Black,” Holton said. “I used to go to high school football games
and just watch after I got off work. And now I am here.”

Amari Johnny Holton, From Flag Football Talent To NFL Prospect
By Kyle Martin
August 11, 2016
Oakland Raiders wide receiver Johnny Holton grew up in Miami, Florida, along with friend and fellow Raiders
wide receiver Amari Cooper. Holton attended Coconut Grove High School as a teenager, but wasn’t focused on
playing football. His priorities were elsewhere. As one of 11 children in his family, he focused on helping
around the house, “By me working, I was just trying to make money to support my family,” said Holton.
Holton put his family first, above his own personal desires, and felt obligated to contribute to his household.
Although Holton was preoccupied with being a quality family member, he did enjoy playing flag football
recreationally at a local park.
Holton’s potential stood out to a college scout who happened to witness him play and offered him a chance to
develop his talent at the College of DuPage in Glen Ellyn, Ill. Recently, Cooper talked about watching Holton

OAKLAND RAIDERS FEATURE CLIPS
play at the park and their relationship on 95.7 The Game and watching him play. “The park is right across the
street from his house and there would always be flag football tournaments,” said Cooper, “I would go out
there and watch sometimes…there was a junior college coach watching him play and he was impressed.”
During his time in Junior College, Holton helped his team get to eighth overall in the NJCAA rankings. He was
also named to the First Team All-Midwest Football Conference back in 2012 and had 23 catches for 548 yards
including eight touchdowns. From one stage to the next Holton continued to progress as a player.
Holton credits that part of what made him successful in college was his ability to make plays after the catch.
“The games I played in I had a big impression, I was leading the nation with 27.1 yards per catch,” Holton said.
After playing College of DuPage for two years, he was swooped up by the University of Cincinnati. In both of
his years spent with the Bearcats, he had five receiving touchdowns and could’ve had a 99-yard kick return
touchdown had it not been called back due to a penalty.
Coming out of college as an undrafted free agent, Holton reached out to Cooper and asked for his advice on
what he should do. “He just told me I’m good enough to play anywhere in the NFL, just look at my options,”
said Holton, “I decided I wanted to be close to him and thought I had an opportunity here [with the Raiders].”
So far through training camp, Holton has opened the eyes of his coaches and peers. He’s flashed a lot of
athleticism and speed, while making impressive plays. Holton is putting his best foot forward to try to join his
friend Cooper in the receiving corps. With the Raiders first preseason game scheduled for tomorrow night
against the Arizona Cardinals, Holton will have plenty of opportunities to show what he’s capable of.
With the next chapter in Holton’s story set to begin, he’ll be an interesting player to watch going forward.

SPORTS ILLUSTRATED
Still standing: Sebastian Janikowski’s unlikely path to Raiders royalty
By Don Banks
June 22, 2016
OAKLAND — You hear him coming down the hall before you see him, and by the time he breezes into the
room and slowly slides himself into a chair, you’re already starting to get why everybody here in Raiders
country seems to adore Sebastian Janikowski.
He wears a perpetual bemused smile and a cap turned backwards in his trademark fashion, the look of a guy
who hasn’t had a real worry in years. At 38, and entering his 17th season as an NFL kicker, there are, to be
sure, a few lines on his round, jowly face these days. But he laughs easily and often, and appears quite
comfortable in his weathered skin. With more than a hint of his thick Polish accent still present, a playful
manner that never goes out of style, and that Hall of Fame nickname, the man they affectionately call
“Seabass” is regarded as royalty around the Raiders’ complex. He’s a walking, talking (and kicking) Oakland
institution.
“He’s one of my favorite teammates I’ve ever had, he really is,” Raiders third-year quarterback Derek Carr says.
“He’s got such a good heart. I talk to him every morning, and he sits behind me at every team meeting. He
means the world to me.”
“He’s the guy around here,” says Oakland fullback Marcel Reece, a teammate of Janikowski’s since 2008. “We
treat him like he’s one of one. An original. A living legend. He’s been here so long he’s like a statue in front of
the building. But he’s one of the greatest people I’ve met in football, and he’s a warrior.”
Adds veteran Raiders offensive tackle Donald Penn: “Who doesn’t love Seabass? He’s like a fixture here. I
would love to give him a fairy tale ending, to see him go out with the Raiders on top. But knowing Seabass,
he’s probably still got at least three more years in him.”
The mind boggles at the thought, but it’s been 16-plus years since strong-willed Raiders owner Al Davis
stunned the NFL world and elicited howls of derision by taking Janikowski 17th overall out of Florida State in
the 2000 draft, the first kicker selected in the first round of a non-supplemental draft since the Saints’ failed
Russell Erxleben experiment in 1979. But who’s laughing now, with the colorful and cannon-legged Janikowski
about to give Oakland a 17th season of production in return for that gutsy No. 17 pick? How many clubs ever
realize that rich of a return on a draft investment?
“I think it’s a hell of a return,” says Janikowski, as blunt as ever. “I’m still going strong. I don’t know how many
guys are even still playing from the Class of 2000 draft. I think I’m the only one.” (Well, there is that Tom Brady
character, too, along with Janikowski’s old teammate Shane Lechler.) “Everybody was like, ‘What’s Al Davis
doing?’ But hey, 17 years later and I’m still kicking, so they did something right.”
Not only is he still kicking, but for the majority of his first 16 seasons as a Raider, Janikowski was arguably
Oakland’s best player and only real star attraction, a beacon of steady production amid the franchise’s long,
painful stretch of ineptitude. And yet after all these years, how is it that we hear so little about Janikowski,
11
OAKLAND RAIDERS FEATURE CLIPS
maybe the most underappreciated great player in recent NFL history? Chalk it up perhaps to Oakland’s
desultory decade-plus of putrid play.
After reaching the playoffs in each of Janikowski’s first three seasons, capped by that Super Bowl trip at the
end of the 2002 season, the Raiders are mired in a 13-year postseason drought that trails only Buffalo’s 16year odyssey of frustration. In 10 of those seasons, Oakland mustered five or fewer wins, topping out at 8–8 in
both ’10 and ’11. Unless No. 11 was taking the field to bang home another long-distance kick, the Silver and
Black have rarely been worth watching.
“We’ve lost some games, that’s true,” Janikowski says. “After my first three years, when we went to the
playoffs and the Super Bowl, in my mind, it was like, that’s how it works. Every year, playoffs. Then 13 years
later, still no playoffs, and suddenly you’re in the desert. You’re at home watching the damn playoffs and
everybody else is playing in them. You’re like, ‘Man, we should be in it. We should be out there.’ But I think
that’s going to change soon.”
There is finally legitimate hope in Oakland after last season’s four-game improvement to 7–9, and Janikowski is
dying to kick for a winner again. His 252 career games are more than any other Raider has ever appeared in,
and his powerful left leg is the stuff of legend, responsible for 385 field goals in 480 career tries (80.2%) and
NFL records like longest overtime field goal (57 yards in 2008), most 50-yard-plus field goals in a game (three in
’11), and most 60-yard-plus field goals in a career (two, tying him with Morten Andersen).
All that he lacks at this point is that amplifying blast of late-career glory that would come with team success,
giving even greater meaning to his impressive statistical accomplishment and his revered status as the Raiders’
long-time survivor, the sole remaining link to Oakland’s last Super Bowl team.
It’s easy to forget from the vantage point of 2016, now that he’s a solid citizen and beloved member of the
organization and Oakland community, but there were times early on when Janikowski’s career seemed to be
going off the rails, destined to end almost before it began.
“No way he was going to make it this long”
Back in 2000 and ’01, Janikowski’s catchy nickname was more likely to elicit eye rolls than smiles, especially for
then Raiders coach Jon Gruden, who grew exasperated with his kicker’s inconsistency and his insatiable love of
the party scene.
With that gaudy first-round target on his back, Janikowski was supposed to come in and immediately shore up
Oakland’s bedeviled kicking game, which in 1999 saw free-agent signee Michael Husted struggle mightily
before being released after 13 games. Davis is said to have pinpointed a half-dozen games in ’99 that were lost
in part due to kicking failures (Oakland finished 8–8), and thus decided to go big and bold in the 2000 draft,
selecting both Janikowski and Lechler, the big-legged Texas A&M punter who went in the fifth round.
But the pressure of kicking in the NFL nearly broke Janikowski, a two-time All-America selection at Florida
State. He was just 22 of 32 in field goals that season (68.8%), and struggles with injuries (a case of cellulitis cost
him two games) and his shaky transition to the longer pro season made his debut an endurance test he nearly
flunked. He missed seven of his first 13 field goal tries in 2000.
“It was rough, the whole season,” Janikowski says. “I was nervous as hell. I didn’t know what to expect. And
because I was a first-round pick, the spotlight is on you. You want to show the guys you were worth that pick,
but you’ve got to be perfect. I was a young guy coming out and dealing with a lot of problems. I had off-field
12
OAKLAND RAIDERS FEATURE CLIPS
issues in college and all that stuff, and there’s so much pressure on you that sometimes you think maybe I
should have just gone in the fourth round.”
Those “off-field issues” at FSU, including a pair of bar fights, followed Janikowski to the NFL, where a string of
incidents highlighted his immaturity and obvious issues with drugs and alcohol. Early in his Raiders career,
Janikowski’s behavior was erratic enough to pose a serious public relations problem for the organization, the
type rarely caused by kickers. Two months after being drafted, he was arrested on suspicion of felony
possession of the date-rape drug GHB (he was later found not guilty), and in October 2001 he needed to be
taken to the hospital to close a cut on his face after passing out in a San Francisco nightclub where some
witnesses had said they saw him take the drug. In June 2002, he was charged with reckless driving in
Tallahassee, and he was arrested in October of that year on a drunken driving charge, serving three years of
probation after pleading no contest.
Still months shy of his 25th birthday, Janikowski was already at a crossroads in his career, which was beginning
to be defined by his off-field problems. He has credited that drunk driving arrest in 2002 as being the impetus
he needed to make real changes in his behavior, and his career began to flourish after he got his drinking
under control.
“I definitely went through some stuff,” Janikowski says. “I stuck with the Raiders and they stuck with me. My
life now is not what it used to be back in the day. I mellowed a long time ago. I’ve got family, my kids [twin
girls], they’re going to be four in September. You grow up, you move on. I still have fun, but now it’s with my
kids. Back in the day, I’d be out somewhere on the street.”
Back in the day, Raiders Hall of Fame receiver Tim Brown didn’t give Janikowski much of a chance of making it
to year seven in the NFL, let alone year 17. He marvels at Janikowski’s ability to re-write the narrative of his
career.
“I’m shocked that he’s made it this far, because I thought there was no way he was going to make it this long in
the league,” says Brown, who played with the kicker from 2000 to ’03. “It’s always amazing when I see Seabass
now and see how much of a gentleman he is and how he talks about his wife and kids. My first reaction was,
‘Oh, my God, his poor wife.’ But I realize he’s a different man, he’s a changed man. He had a lot of pressure on
him when he first got to Oakland, and I don’t think he was handling it very well. And his way of handling things
was to go out and do more of what he had been doing the night before. That was the big issue.”
Because his teammates were well aware of his partying lifestyle, Janikowski often didn’t receive the benefit of
the doubt if he missed a kick or struggled through an off day.
“When mistakes happen, and everybody knows you’ve been out partying all night and you’ve been out doing
all this crazy stuff, then people are not going to believe you’re taking this thing seriously,” Brown says. “I know
there were several times when he missed field goals in games, and you heard guys wondering on the sideline,
‘Well, yeah, he shouldn’t have been out last night or Friday night, whatever.’
“I just think he was so talented as a kicker, he always felt like he was going to be O.K. He didn’t believe in that
karma thing. For a few years he just had a reputation that he just didn’t care much about what was going on.
Now, he would tell you he cared, and it’s not like he didn’t work hard in practice. But at the same time, he was
working just as hard off the field on all that other stuff.”
Lechler, now entering his fourth season with the Texans, was Janikowski’s running partner early on, and he has
seen the full arc of his friend and ex-teammate’s journey from near calamity to respectability. To be young
13
OAKLAND RAIDERS FEATURE CLIPS
with too much disposable income and time on your hands in the NFL has long been a recipe for trouble, and
Janikowski consistently found it.
“Bass came a long way, and everybody knows the Florida State stories, how [coach Bobby Bowden] treated
him and gave him a long leash down there,” says Lechler, who held for Janikowski at the 2000 NFL scouting
combine and then throughout their 13 seasons together in Oakland. “But once we got to the NFL, and I even
lived with him my first two years, I mean, we had some moments where you’d wake up the next morning like,
‘Man, we’ve gotta quit this, you know? We’ve got to start focusing just on football.’ Thank God there wasn’t a
whole lot of social media at the time and stuff like that.”
In those days, Janikowski the partier was every bit as adept as Janikowski the kicker, Lechler recalls. Not that it
was a sustainable career trajectory.
“It wasn’t like we were out raising hell every night, but we had our times,” Lechler says. “I get asked the
question all the time: ‘I bet that was crazy running with Seabass,’ and I’m always like, ‘Yeah, it was crazy,
maybe like three nights a month. The rest of the time he was fine, just normal stuff. But we had a good time,
and Bass of all people, he can have just as good a time as anybody you can find in this world. He can be a
blast.”
Janikowski has almost started to look like the old pirate in the Raiders’ logo over the years–—sans eye patch—
but he’s a 6' 1", 265-pound softie at heart, according to Lechler.
“He’s a guy I would say that 90% of NFL fans would love to hang out with,” Lechler says. “And I wish they all
could, because for one it would get the bad reputation out of people’s heads. He’ll go and have a few beers
with you, and he’ll maybe miss a curfew now and then. But if you get to know deep down what the guy’s like,
he’s a guy you’ll want to be your friend, I promise you.”
“There was nobody in the game better, and we knew it”
About the nickname: Janikowski came into the league with several monikers, but Seabass is the one that
endured. He can tell you the wonderfully straightforward story behind it.
“Seabass is the best nickname, and it’s stuck since [former FSU star receiver] Peter Warrick back in college,”
Janikowski says. “He said Sebastian was so long for him that he didn’t want to say it. So he started calling me
Seabass at Florida State and it stuck with me. That’s all I’m ever called. I should [trademark] it.”
If Janikowski does have a trademark of sorts, it’s for playing with the psyche of the opposing team in pregame
warmups. His booming left leg was always his trump card.
“This is how we approached every pregame warmup: No matter what, wherever their kicker kicked a field goal
from, we went five yards further than them and kicked,” Lechler says. “If we were in Denver, with that light air,
we’d get back in the 68-69-70-yard range just to kind of get the upper edge in the mind games. I never even
had to ask him, ‘Where do you want to kick the next one from?’ I just went five yards further than where the
opposing kicker just kicked from, and that’s where we lined up.”
When it calls for classic Seabass stories, the ones that show him at his most colorful and quirkiest, Lechler is a
human Wikipedia page. They didn’t just live together those first two years in the NFL, they were practically
inseparable as friends and fellow elite kickers. They were very, very good for a team that was usually very, very
bad, and they shared that bond proudly.
14
OAKLAND RAIDERS FEATURE CLIPS
“There was a stretch of four or five years there where there was nobody in the game better, and we knew it,”
says Lechler, who went to seven Pro Bowls in his Oakland tenure. “We kind of had the same, I guess you’d say,
attitude about toward the game. There was just a chemistry and approach to football that we shared. And we
are both competitive as hell.”
Not that there weren’t annoying little differences between them that cropped up at regular intervals. Like on
their rides together to Raiders home games, when Janikowski always insisted upon driving.
“I rode with Bass in his car to every home game we ever played together, and his music that he likes is way
different than mine,” Lechler says. “He’s a big techno guy and I’m straight country. When we were riding, I’d
get at least one of my songs in, but he’d never listen to one of mine as we were actually pulling into the
stadium parking lot. Never once. It had to be his music.”
Kickers can be somewhat eccentric by nature, of course, and Janikowski developed more than a few
idiosyncrasies, some of which drove his punter a little nuts.
“He had two things that bothered me,” Lechler says. “One, he wrote his number, No. 11, on his hat 11 times. It
made every hat look awful. It just ruined every hat. I’d be like, ‘They just gave you that thing.’ I don’t why, but I
like hats and that bugged me that he did that same thing every time. And it was No. 11, so it looked just like
tally marks all over the hat. I’d be like, ‘What are you doing, man?’
“Then the other thing was no matter what kind of shape the kicking balls were in that day, he yelled at the
ballboys. I actually told the ballboys, ‘Hey, listen, this is part of his routine. Those balls are probably the best
balls I’ve kicked in five years, but he’s going to yell at you. I don’t care what you throw out there.’ It’s just what
he does.”
As it turns out, Janikowski and Lechler don’t even agree when it comes to picking the biggest or best kick of
Seabass’s storied career. Janikowski goes with his 57-yard game-winner in overtime to beat Brett Favre and
the visiting Jets in October 2008, the longest OT field goal in NFL history.
“[Raiders coach Tom Cable] looked at me and said 'Go win it,’ like he really believed in me,” Janikowski says.
“But if I don’t make that field goal, they were in such good field position that they could have made one play
and they win it.”
Lechler has a different perspective. He’s convinced the 61-yarder that Janikowski somehow nailed in terrible
conditions in Cleveland in December 2009 was his finest moment, even if it came in a 23–9 Raiders loss.
“The Jets kick was a big-time kick, but the 61-yarder in Cleveland in the snow, that was the best kick of his NFL
career,” Lechler says. “I mean, the wind’s blowing and it’s kind of snowy mix, and it cold and miserable, just
typical Cleveland in December. It’s one of the only times I ever jogged out there and thought, ‘He ain’t got a
chance to make this one.’ But I put it down and he split the uprights, and I’m like, ‘Holy s---.’ ”
Going unselected by both, curiously, was the league-record-tying 63-yarder Janikowski converted at the end of
the first half on a Monday night in Denver in September 2011, a mark since broken by the Broncos’ Matt
Prater, who hit a 64-yarder in ’13.
“He couldn’t pick that one, because he mishit the 63-yarder in Denver,” Lechler said. “He didn’t even get it
good.”
15
OAKLAND RAIDERS FEATURE CLIPS
Adds Janikowski: “I didn’t even really hit it hard, because in Denver with the elevation, you don’t have to. I
can’t even imagine what the record might be if I got to play my whole career in Denver. Seventy yards? I think
so, I mean, I’ve got to say it.”
But perhaps the quintessential Janikowski highlight, the one that captures him in all his one-of-a-kind glory,
took place in Kansas City’s Arrowhead Stadium on Christmas Eve 2011. The Chiefs and Raiders were tied 13–13
in overtime, but Oakland was driving for the game-winning field goal try. Then a Chiefs fan unwisely tried to
get into Janikowski’s head. Or thereabouts.
“We’re warming up on the sideline, and in Kansas City the stands are like right on top of the visiting sideline,
and there’s really no room to warm up,” Lechler says. “All of a sudden this big dude throws like a chili cheese
nacho and hits Seabass pretty much right in the numbers. And we’re in our white road jerseys. It’s like right on
his stomach. Now, he’s not a fat guy, but to have chili and cheese on you in a white uniform, when you’re built
like that, it’s not a good look.
“So now he stopped warming up because he was pissed off at the guy, and I’m like, ‘Great, now he’s mad at
this guy and distracted, we’re not going to make this kick.’ He’s got the trainers trying to get all that s--- off him
and they’re spraying water on it. So now we go out there, and it’s not a deep kick [36 yards], and boom, he
kicked it, gives me a quick high five, and then sprints right back to the warmup spot, right to that guy. I don’t
know what he said over there but I can imagine what he said. I didn’t see him again until the locker room. That
was a great moment right there. That was a fun one.”
“I wouldn’t want to be the next first-round kicker”
Sixteen years after the Raiders rolled the dice on Janikowski in the first round, there was an echo of their bold
pick when the Buccaneers chose another Florida State kicker, Roberto Aguayo, in the second round with pick
No. 59. That’s the highest selection used on a kicker since the Jets took Ohio State’s Mike Nugent in the second
round in 2005 at No. 47. In the selection of Aguayo, the Bucs seemingly gave a vindicating nod to Seabass’s
long and prolific career.
“Yeah, I’m still doing it, and if the Bucs get what the Raiders got out of me, that’s a great pick,” Janikowski says.
“I still watch Florida State a lot, and he’s going to turn out to be one of the greatest kickers. I think he’s going
to have a hell of a career, but I know how much pressure he’s under.”
Though Oakland once again has Italian-born kicker Giorgio Tavecchio on the roster and slated to compete with
Janikowski in camp, there’s no sense that Seabass is in any real roster jeopardy, even with his pricey-for-akicker $3.96 million salary cap number and two years left on his contract. Janikowski seems energized by the
Raiders’ return to competitiveness, and for the past two years he has taken part in Oakland’s off-season
program at coach Jack Del Rio’s behest, rather than stay home in Florida until training camp, as was his
custom.
He paces himself now, and tries to be smarter about his conditioning and kicking load, but he talks openly
about his desire to kick into his mid-40s, as legendary kickers such as Jan Stenerud, Morten Andersen, Gary
Anderson and Adam Vinatieri have done.
“I’m not even close to being done, the way I feel,” Janikowski said. “I have always believed I have the potential
to kick as long as I want to kick. I still feel good, and I still love running out there on the field and being under
pressure, hearing the fans. Whether they’re booing you or screaming for you, I just love it.”

Just ahead on his career radar screen is the NFL record for most 50-yard-plus field goals, which he currently
holds along with longtime Lions kicker Jason Hanson. Janikowski has made 52 such kicks, on a whopping 92
attempts, and he did it without ever playing in a climate-controlled dome, as Hanson did for his entire career
in Detroit. Remember that when his Hall of Fame candidacy is being bantered about.
“Keep in mind, he’s been kicking for 16 years outdoors in a stadium that’s below sea level, and playing up to
four home games a year on a field that still has infield dirt with the A’s playing there,” says Lechler, who is still
punting as he approaches 40 in August. “And he’s still top five in the game. He’s done it at a high level in a
place where it’s not groomed for success. To hold on for all that time in Oakland, my hat’s off to him. Could
anybody else have done that? I don’t know.”
Those who know him best say Janikowski is fiercely proud, still driven by any slight, both real and imagined,
and after being burned by friends as far back as his college days, he has always had difficulty trusting others.
He may still be wary, but he’s not wearied. And toward the end of his long, sometimes strange trip in the NFL,
Seabass has become both a mainstay and an unlikely icon in Oakland, as admired for his perseverance as he is
for his production as a Raider.
He revels in being Seabass, and it’s not hard to notice that just being in his company puts the people around
him in a good mood. If there’s a gravitational center in the Oakland locker room, it’s wherever No. 11 happens
to be standing. In uniform, he’s as relaxed and comfortable as an old shoe. Providing it’s on his left foot, and
laced up tight for kicking.
“We love the guy around here,” Penn says. “And I know this, I wouldn’t want to be the next first-round kicker
to come into this league. Because that guy’s got a lot to live up to after Seabass.”

THE NEW YORKER
Marquette King Is the N.F.L.’s Only Black Punter. How Come?
By Carvell Wallace
February 5, 2016
Marquette King remembers being astonished the first time he stepped onto an N.F.L. field. Even though it was
only preseason, there seemed to be about a million more people in the stands than he had ever seen at his
tiny alma mater, Fort Valley State University, in Georgia. Trying to remain calm, he kept his head down, and
cast his eyes safely on the grass at his feet.
He jogged to the line of scrimmage, hoping to look like he belonged. He wasn’t just playing football, he was
competing for a job. And even though he had experienced success at every stage of his career, had excelled at
tryouts, had dominated pro-days, and impressed scouts who appraised him quietly from behind visors and
sunglasses, he knew how merciless N.F.L. camps were for unproven rookies. You could have been the best at
every place you played. You could sweat, and bleed, and run yourself ragged, giving every ounce and pushing
far beyond your own limitations, and still, at the end of the day, an assistant might greet you at your locker
with a sombre look and the words no hopeful wants to hear: “Come with me. And bring your playbook.”
King knew that if he failed to execute the next fifteen to twenty seconds of his life with absolute perfection,
this could be his last chance to play professional football. As he had done countless times before, he lined up
at his spot and prepared to yell out the snap count. But before he could open his mouth, a player on the
opposing team, the Dallas Cowboys, took one look at him and shouted.
“A black punter?! It’s a fake! It’s a fake!”
The opposing players, equally eager to impress their coaches by seeming on top of every nuance of the game,
scrambled into new positions, King told me, guarding against the possibility that this black guy, inexplicably
lined up at the whitest of N.F.L. positions, was really some backup quarterback or receiver—a speedster who
would fake a kick and instead run for the first down, catching their whole defense unaware. Clearly some
trickery was afoot.
For King, it was a gift. He actually laughed out loud. Even black players didn’t believe that he was a punter. It
wasn’t the first time he had been viewed with suspicion, and the comedy of the situation calmed his nerves.
He called for the snap, took three precise steps, and dropped the ball perfectly toward his rising right leg. The
ball, as it did nearly every time, rocketed into the air, nearly disappearing in the late afternoon sun. He was
knocked to the ground as he finished his kick, but when he got back up, the ball was still in the air and his
teammates were pounding him on the back.
Ask anyone who knows the N.F.L. well and they will tell you that the twenty-seven-year-old Oakland Raider
Marquette King is one of the most impressive punters in professional football. Videos of his performances at
kicking camps have almost mythic status among special-teams devotees. And he has increased his consistency
each of the three seasons he’s played, gradually mastering a precision with his kicking to match his
tremendous power.

OAKLAND RAIDERS FEATURE CLIPS
“Marquette King has one of the purest, strongest legs in the league,” John Middlekauff, an Oakland sportsradio host and former N.F.L. scout, told me. Much of the positive reaction to King has centered on his obvious
strength.
The performance of punters is judged by two principal measurements: distance and hang time. Hang time is
crucial, because the longer a ball stays in the air, the more time the defending team has to get down field to
guard against a return. While a typical N.F.L. punt will last about four and a half seconds in the air, King, in
workouts, has reached the unthinkable mark of 5.85 seconds. He does well with distance, too: his longest punt
in a game is seventy yards, managed against the Ravens, and footage exists of him kicking as far as eightyseven yards in practices.
King spends considerable time in the weight room, a place not necessarily frequented by members of the
kicking squad, and his collegiate forty-yard dash time was less than two-tenths of a second behind that of his
team’s fastest runner, the wide receiver Amari Cooper.
The joke about punters is that they usually look like someone from the accounting department who
accidentally ended up on the team—in other words, like a pasty white guy who improbably found himself in
the company of football men. King has the opposite effect: he is an athletic black man in a spot usually
reserved for pasty white guys. It would probably be uncomfortable, if he weren’t so used to being different.
King grew up in Macon, Georgia, and like a lot of kids his initial attraction to football was visual. He now lives
an hour’s drive away from where he plays and practices with his team—a distance he chose so that he can
decompress before he gets home—and he told me the story of his childhood as we sat on the sofa in his
underfurnished Bay Area apartment.
In middle school, he would watch one of his mom’s friend’s sons play football and admire the uniforms and the
shiny helmets. His mother, concerned about injuries and academics, would not yet let him play, but King began
training on his own, doing two-mile runs around his neighborhood with dreams of being a receiver.
Two years later, he made his high-school team—and quickly decided that after-school practices and positionspecific training were not enough to fill his insistent appetite for improvement. Weekend days were spent
walking around his neighborhood with a football and a set of cones that he could use to practice receiving
routes. He tried to get quarterbacks, receivers, and other teammates to join him for these extra sessions, but
he found that most kids, even the athletes, preferred to spend their free time watching TV or playing video
games.
When he got bored, he would kick, and he soon became fond of watching the ball rocket off of his foot and
into the air. He began to challenge himself. Could he kick it over this ditch? Could he kick it over this tree? He
got his parents to measure how long he could keep the ball in the air. He didn’t know yet about hang time and
drop technique. He wasn’t thinking of it as a potential career. He just liked being really good at it, and getting
better.
He experimented with different techniques. One day, he said, not long after he began kicking, he was playing
football with friends and a pass was thrown way out of bounds. King went to retrieve it, but instead of
throwing it back, he kicked it. “Damn!” came the response. “Do that shit again!” Eventually the game devolved
into neighborhood kids just trying to field King’s explosive punts.
19
OAKLAND RAIDERS FEATURE CLIPS
A new coach took over his team during junior year, and King told him about his kicking. The coach made him
the team’s kicker, though King continued to play receiver as well. During his senior year, a friend mentioned
offhandedly that he could get paid to kick. King says he legitimately thought the guy was making fun of him.
After high school, he went to Fort Valley State, a small historically black college thirty miles from home. He
didn’t play at all in his freshman year, and had trouble finding time for himself at receiver, competing against
more skilled players at the position. Eventually he was told flat out by the coaching staff that if he wanted to
keep his scholarship, he had to kick.
Punters don’t run as fast or lift as many weights as other football players do. They don’t tackle or block. They
can’t make big hits or game-winning plays. In a football culture that prizes strength, speed, toughness, and, to
some degree, violence, a guy whom you can’t even touch in a game without being penalized ordinarily
commands little respect in the locker room.
He may as well be a professional darts player hanging at the gym with a bunch of M.M.A. fighters. But King
either didn’t notice this or didn’t care; the same internal mechanisms that had him out alone on Saturday
afternoons with a football and a bunch of cones while most other kids his age were playing Madden now
induced him to throw himself completely into kicking with little regard for ego or social standing. He was
simply enamored of the feeling of success when he booted a big one.
When he had bad games, he was known to stay in the stadium long after his friends and family had gone
home, putting on a pair of headphones and kicking ball after ball well into the night. Assistant coaches
eventually forbade him from staying late, not so much to protect his leg, but because his obsessive work kept
them from getting on with their own lives. As King recalls, he responded by surreptitiously finding out where
the light box to the stadium was and learning how to break into the weight room after hours.
Before his junior year, he received an invite to Kohl’s National Elite kicking camp, a proving ground and
showcase for the most promising collegiate kickers, punters, and long snappers in the country. So he got on an
airplane for the first time in his life and travelled to Wisconsin, which is where the Legend of Marquette King
was born.
His final kicks of the weekend are immortalized in a YouTube video; screams of shock and amazement can be
heard as soon as the ball comes off his foot. Word began to spread among the tightly knit kicking community
and eventually among N.F.L. executives.
After graduating, he was invited to Raiders camp, where he impressed coaches so much that, despite injuring
his foot during the preseason, he was given an unlikely roster spot, and placed on injured reserve for the 2012
season. The next year, he beat out veteran Chris Kluwe in camp, and was given the team’s starting job. He
became the only black punter in the league, and just the fifth black man in the history of the N.F.L. to be a
specialist at the position.
It is difficult to explain why African-American punters are practically unheard of in a league that at any given
moment is roughly two-thirds black. It seems possible that many scouts haven’t even considered the question.
“Honestly,” John Middlekauff said when I asked him about the subject, “I hadn’t ever thought of it in those
terms. I just think most guys, most talented players, when you grow up wanting to play football, obviously
kicker and punter are the last two things you want to do … and if you are the kicker or punter, and you’re the
best player on the team, then that means you’re also quarterback or running back. You’re just also athletic,
and you don’t necessarily want to do that as you try to get a scholarship to go to college.”
20
OAKLAND RAIDERS FEATURE CLIPS
What’s implied in this, of course, is that punter is not a position you choose, but one you get stuck with
because you are not fast enough or strong enough to play elsewhere on the field. The other assumption here is
that black football players always have better speed and strength than their white counterparts.
Greg Coleman has a slightly different theory. Coleman was the first black man to play exclusively at punter in
the N.F.L. He retired in 1988, and is now a sideline reporter for the Minnesota Vikings. Few punters, Coleman
told me over the phone, make N.F.L. teams in their first year after college. They have to keep honing their craft
and take another shot at it the following season, and maybe the season after that.
“So if they don’t have the support, the financial support, from family to keep training, to maintain that
lifestyle, to sustain them for a year, or maybe even two, it’s going to be difficult for them to continue.”
Perhaps more than all other players, kickers are technical specialists. They have to train early and exclusively at
their craft to have a shot at a professional team. Camps can cost as much as four thousand dollars for a week
of private lessons and film studies, and even with such training, an N.F.L. career will remain a statistical
improbability.
There are thirty-two teams in the league, and they each typically employ one player at placekicker and one at
punter. There are, then, about sixty-four jobs to be divided among thousands of kids who train for this one
thing. Kickers commonly earn more than two million dollars per year, and they rarely suffer the kind of highspeed collisions endured by those at other positions. At any given time, the oldest player in the league is
almost always a kicker. (Currently it’s Adam Vinatieri, the forty-three-year old placekicker for the Indianapolis
Colts. Morton Andersen, a placekicker for multiple teams, had a career that lasted twenty-five years, an
astonishing number when you consider that the average career, according to the N.F.L. Players Association,
lasts a little over three years.)
All of this helps explain why a lucrative cottage industry has sprung up catering to parents looking for a way to
help their kids pursue N.F.L. dreams by becoming kickers. The Web site for Kohl’s Kicking lists more than a
hundred and fifty camps scheduled for 2016, and a quick Google search will point you to similar camps that
make tremendous promises for the futures of young kickers.
For such an experience, families and loved ones can expect to pay anywhere between three hundred and
twenty-five dollars and six hundred dollars per day for attendance, a price tag that does not include travel,
merchandise, instructional DVDs, equipment, or other extras. And yet this is a typical path for a young N.F.L.
kicker. Which makes King even more of an outlier.
He taught himself, and was invited to his first camp free of charge in his senior year of college. But for those
not possessed of his astounding drive and talent, the very possibility of a career in kicking or punting is tied to
the financial means of your family. In other words, if you want to play this position, with its low physical
impact, you have to be able to afford it.
Greg Coleman came along before the rise of specialized kicking camps. He was drafted in 1976, by the
Cincinnati Bengals, and though he exclusively punted in college, he was expected, at the Bengals camp, to try
out for receiver and running back spots before kicking. He balked at this, but, being an unsigned rookie, he had
little leverage. As he describes it, when he finally got around to taking kicking reps in front of coaches, he was
winded and consequently underperformed, thus losing his chance. He was cut before the season began.
He took a job teaching high-school history, in Florida, but maintained a practice routine, learning more about
both the craft of kicking and the business of the N.F.L. He got another shot the next year, signing with the
Cleveland Browns on January 1, 1977. Cleveland coach Forrest Gregg, like the Bengals coaches before him,
21
OAKLAND RAIDERS FEATURE CLIPS
wanted to use Coleman as a running back, but the young kicker, now a year wiser, took a stand: he told his
coach to either let him kick exclusively or cut him from the team. Gregg gave him his chance.
The next year, though, Gregg was fired, and Coleman was let go, replaced by a younger, white draft pick. By
week nine of the ensuing season, Coleman was still living in Cleveland, out of work, and his wife was pregnant.
Then he got a call from the Minnesota Vikings. He spent the next nine years punting in Minneapolis, racking up
impressive numbers in his career as a precision punter.
Not everyone was happy to see him on the field.
“For a long time,” he told me, “I kept my helmet on, hoping folks would think I was a dark-skinned white boy.
You got stuff thrown at you. The adjectives that were hurled … monkey. The N-word.”
It’s remarkable to hear stories that evoke Jackie Robinson integrating baseball in the fifties from a football
player who’s talking about 1978. Some of the same fans shouting racial epithets at Greg Coleman were
cheering for the black running backs and receivers on their own teams. It wasn’t a question of integration in
football; it was merely the sight of a black man taking space where a white man should be.
“It’s something that I have not talked about a whole lot,” Coleman said, “even after all of these years.”
Coleman is from a generation that was largely taught to handle racism with a quiet dignity. Keep your chin up,
and your mouth shut. Do better than they expect you to and silence them with your greatness.
But when he does open up, as he did in a short video he recorded for the Vikings, the pain is very much on the
surface. In the video, he talks about the time his black Pee Wee football team won the city championship—the
team, remarkably, featured four future N.F.L. players—and was nonetheless denied the chance to compete in
the state’s Gator Bowl. Even as a man who prides himself on inner strength, it is clear that being excluded as a
nine-year-old because he was born black is a pain that is simply too severe to get over.
Whether or not anyone wants to talk about it, there are races attached to some positions in sports. Running
backs and cornerbacks are typically black. Punter, kicker, and quarterback tend to be seen as white positions.
Like many aspects of race in 2016, this is changing, but in uneven ways.
When Super Bowl 50 begins, Cam Newton will become just the sixth black quarterback to start in the N.F.L.
Championship Game. What explains this? Is it a lack of ability to read defenses and study playbooks on the part
of African-Americans? Or is it because the preparation, training, and cultural markers associated with the
quarterback position have historically been inaccessible to aspiring black athletes? If the latter is true, then the
six men that have achieved this have done so by walking a path that defies probability.
The same may be said of black punters. If being an N.F.L. punter can be a lonely proposition, then being a black
N.F.L. punter can be a downright desolate one. This may be one reason why, despite the relative longevity and
safety of the position, so few African-American players have taken up the mantle. Even in a league that prizes
mental toughness, the feat requires a whole other degree of it, one that enables you not only to compete with
others but with yourself, with systems, and with isolation. You have to be, as John Middlekauff puts it, “A
different type of guy.”
It is, in some respects, a familiar story. As racism becomes more difficult to explicitly identify, it becomes more
impossible to challenge. How can anyone complain that racism is connected to the dearth of black punters in
the N.F.L. when there are black coaches and general managers? When no one has thrown cups of beer at
Marquette King or called him the N-word as he took the field?
22
OAKLAND RAIDERS FEATURE CLIPS
Still, the story of his journey to the position is one of a man overcoming remarkable odds through sheer force
of will. And while it would be difficult to argue that those odds had nothing to do with his race, the fact that he
did overcome them lends an ironic credence, for some, to the idea that race no longer need hinder anyone’s
success; that all anyone needs to do is what Marquette King and Greg Coleman did—which is to say, the near
impossible. This narrative holds particular sway in professional sports, which rely so heavily on extreme
discipline and the mythology of the self-made warrior.
Marquette King, meanwhile, is entering a contract year. He made a little over one and a half million dollars in
2015, which places him squarely in the middle of the pack of punter salaries. Still, it is quite a come-up for a kid
from Macon, who, as he tells it, had not really heard of the Oakland Raiders before they contacted him.
Despite his stalwart performance and reputation, at the time of this writing, no word has come from the
Raiders front office on a long-term deal. It is not unusual for teams to finish managing the heftier contracts of
position players against the salary cap before getting around to the punters; most observers seem convinced
that he’ll be well taken care of.
He may be on the verge of becoming a wealthy man, and, if he can remain healthy, a long, perhaps even
legendary career is not out of the question. But no matter what happens, it’s difficult to imagine him changing
much. He has been single-minded for most of his life. He does not live extravagantly, and his studio apartment
looks like it could belong to any twenty-seven-year-old guy with a decent job. There’s a TV, some football
mementos, a couple of places to sit. The only things on the walls are a few pictures of himself, in games; a
handful of jerseys held up with thumbtacks; and a dry-erase board, on which he has written, in careful print,
every single one of his goals for the 2016 season.

DE Khalil Mack
SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
Khalil Mack leads Raiders’ sack attack
By Vic Tafur
July 27, 2016
When Khalil Mack gets in his car Thursday and drives to the Napa Valley Marriott for the Raiders’ training
camp, the defensive end is packing light.
Just some clothes and maybe his guitar to help him relax at night. Rookie roommate Greg Townsend Jr. has
been given the list of mandatory snacks.
Most important, Mack’s not bringing any mental baggage, none of the accolades from last season or any of the
expectations or hype for both him and the team this year.
“I’m still learning, just trying to get better” Mack said, taking a break from his workout at San Francisco’s
Empower Gym on Monday. “That’s the key to all of this.”
Running back Latavius Murray now calls Mack “Slash,” after Mack became the first player in NFL history to
earn first-team All-Pro honors at two positions in the same season (defensive end and outside linebacker).
Mack, 25, finished with 15 sacks, one shy of the franchise record, and led all edge rushers in the NFL with 82
quarterback pressures and 54 run stops.
The “Slash” nickname is also appropriate because Mack thinks he was two players last season, and the one
wearing No. 52 the first half of the season wasn’t all that great.
“I am very critical of myself,” Mack said. “Watching the tape of myself last year, it looked like two different
players the first half of the season and the second half. This year, I want to start fast and finish strong.”
Mack thinks he overloaded himself the first eight games. He had only four sacks in that span, and would roll off
11 over the next six games.
“I switched it up too much the first part of the season, trying to show everything I worked on in the offseason,”
Mack said. “All these moves and counters. … So mentally and physically, I made it simple. Just use speed and
power and focus on two moves that I was having success with throughout the year. I was able to play faster
and longer.”
To look at the sculpted physical specimen that Mack (6-foot-3, 255 pounds) is, one would miss what separates
him and the league’s other great pass rushers: His motor doesn’t stop.
“Getting sacks is all effort,” Mack said. “Justin Tuck used to tell me that pass rushing is one of the luckiest
things in the world. The quarterback can fall in your lap sometimes, and sometimes no matter what you do,
you can’t quite get to them. But they all count.”
It’s seemingly rare in sports when a team’s best player is also the one grinding the most before, during and
after practice. Defensive tackle Dan Williams says the Raiders are blessed.
24
OAKLAND RAIDERS FEATURE CLIPS
“Khalil is such a hard worker,” Williams said. “You can’t put a ceiling on what he can do. … Khalil is going to be
Khalil, and we all expect him to get more sacks this year. That’s kind of crazy when you think he had 15 last
year. But he’s ready to take over the league.”
Mack tunes out compliments, whether it’s from a teammate or a talking head on TV saying the Raiders are
going to go from 7-9 to winning the AFC West.
“You hear all different kind of things,” Mack said. “I like to focus on the negatives. Negative things tend to help
me grind a lot harder. I don’t like positive stuff too much. … Not even in my relationships. Man, I don’t want to
hear how great things are going from anybody.”
That wasn’t a problem with Mack’s mentor, Tuck. He is retired now, as is safety Charles Woodson, but they
groomed Mack to take over the leadership role on the defense, if not the whole team, this season.
Said Mack: “It’s just about being a team player right now, getting everybody on the same page so we can
accomplish what we want to. We have the talent, and with a positive mind-set and hard work, anything is
possible.”
It’s one of the reasons that he is looking forward to training camp — because of how the team clicked last year
and how well the new players have fit in. Big free-agent signings Kelechi Osemele, Bruce Irvin and Sean Smith
haven’t needed a transition period.
“What excites me the most is that we’ve put together a great group of guys,” Mack said. “Not only the players,
but the coaches. I am excited to work with all the new cats.”
Mack knows he will be a marked man this season, with opposing coaches spending the week before games
against Oakland scheming to double-team and erase him.
“You have to welcome the challenge,” Mack said. “But at the same time, being a leader on the team, you have
to let the other guys know, ‘Hey it’s not just me on this side of the ball.’ We got big Bruce, I got Rio (Mario
Edwards), I got Big Dan, Big Jelly (Justin Ellis) … We got 27 (Reggie Nelson), DA (David Amerson) and Big Sean
on the back end …
“We got some playmakers and heavy hitters. We’re going to make some noise. … They say you can’t win them
all, but we’re gonna try.”

RB Jalen Richard
SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
Raiders rookie RB Richard, veteran TE Smith hit it off in camp
By Vic Tafur
August 6, 2016
A football team is a brotherhood. That goes for the 53 men on the roster when the season starts, not
necessarily the other 37 players who are at training camp currently wearing jerseys.
But Jalen Richard, an undrafted running back out of Southern Mississippi, has found an ally, someone who
comes up to him after a nice run at practice and congratulates him. What makes it especially unusual is that
it’s not another running back but starting tight end Lee Smith.
“It’s been really cool,” Richard said. “Lee talks to me all the time, tells me I am doing a good job and to keep
pushing.”
The 5-foot-8 Richard and 6-foot-6 Smith are both from the South, Smith growing up in Powell, Tenn. Richard
said teammates were giving them a hard time about their accents and they formed a bond.
“It is kind of crazy,” Richard said, smiling. “We were messing around one day, and then he pulled me over for a
real conversation.”
Smith offered Richard tips on how to be a pro, mixed in with stories about life on his ranch with his wife and
kids.
“All the players know everybody’s not going to be able to be here the whole time,” Richard said. “So some
people tend not to build relationships because of that. But then you have the ones that don’t worry about that
at all, and treat you like you’re going to be here forever. Lee is one of those guys.”
Here’s a secret: Smith, a sixth-year veteran, wasn’t drawn to Richard because of his accent.
The tight end, after practice one day last week, pointed to the rookie catching tennis balls from a machine.
“There are a lot of rookies in there right now who have never played a down in this league taking a shower,”
Smith said. “And this kid’s out here working. You know what I mean? You kind of gravitate toward certain kids,
you respect them and their work ethic. He’s special.”
During practices, Richard has shown some wiggle and a nose for the hole, and has been lining up with the
third-team offense, behind starter Latavius Murray and fifth-round pick DeAndre Washington.
Richard has even gotten to line up with starting quarterback Derek Carr a few times. It’s a long way from
coming to the team’s rookie camp in May on a tryout, and getting a contract after it.
“I am just trying to take advantage of every opportunity I am given, and hopefully more opportunities come,”
Richard said. “
Raiders head coach Jack Del Rio has been impressed.
26
OAKLAND RAIDERS FEATURE CLIPS
“We have a lot of reps in camp. A lot of different guys get opportunities. Yeah, I would say he’s done a nice job
with the looks he’s gotten so far.”
Richard ran for 1,098 yards and 14 touchdowns on 185 carries (5.9 per carry) his senior year, and also had 284
yards and two touchdowns receiving. He thinks catching the ball is his strength.
Richard didn’t think he did well in the Raiders’ offseason workouts, “because I wasn’t comfortable with the
offense, but I am now.” He also did well for himself returning kickoffs Saturday, which improves his chances of
making the roster.
Richard, at 207 pounds, is three pounds heavier than Washington. Otherwise the rookies are carbon copies of
each other. Both say being a smaller player works in their favor against defenses.
“It’s definitely an advantage if you know how to use it,” Richard said. “It’s crazy how identical DeAndre and I
are as far as size, weight and skill set. We use our size to our advantage, because guys can’t really see us
behind the (offensive) line. We are very precise in our cuts and we have great vision.”
While Washington was drafted, Richard wasn’t, and only two teams offered him tryouts (the Raiders and Bucs)
because of his size.
“I am just happy for the opportunity,” Richard said. “It’s definitely cool to be out here now with Derek Carr and
Khalil Mack.”
And it’s nerve-racking as well.
“It’s just football all over again, that’s what I tell myself to calm myself down before practice,” Richard said. “I
tell myself, ‘I’ve been doing this since I was 5 years old.’”
And if that doesn’t do the trick, Richard will hear a deep voice yelling encouragement after a play.
“I really appreciate Lee’s words,” Richard said. “He’s like my big brother now.”

Renaissance Man, Philosopher and NFL Kicker: Get To Know Giorgio Tavecchio
By Eddie Paskal
June 29, 2016
Nestled up next to the University of California, Berkeley campus is a coffee shop, and it’s very much the type of
artisanal coffee house one would associate with a university like Cal that’s synonymous with culture and selfexpression.
On this sunny summer afternoon, the outdoor seating area at the coffee house is bustling. It’s filled with
students working on group projects, along with local patrons doing their daily crossword puzzles and reading a
variety of books. Mixed in seamlessly with the rest of the patrons is Oakland Raiders kicker Giorgio Tavecchio;
a Cal alumnus himself, donning a striped polo shirt and gray shorts, ordering a cappuccino on a beautiful
Northern California Day.
Tavecchio seems at home here – at ease, as he goes up to the counter and orders his cup of coffee in fluent
Spanish – and in many ways, he is home.
During his sophomore season of college, Tavecchio commuted to school from his family home in Moraga,
Calif., and Caffé Strada become a second home for him; it’s a space that has continued to hold a special place
in his heart, even after graduation.
“It just became a space where I felt I could go and do anything – live, love, laugh, learn, a little bit of
everything,” Tavecchio said when asked about the coffee shop. “The coffee itself isn’t half bad either – a nice
cappuccino goes a long way.”
As he sits down at a table on the outside balcony, Tavecchio begins talking about his life’s journey, and what a
journey it has been so far. At just 25 years old, his list of accomplishments is impressive, but his ultimate
dream still lies in front of him.
He wants to be a starting NFL placekicker, and he’s willing to do whatever it takes to get there and complete
this part of his very dynamic life’s journey.
Giorgio’s football career hasn’t been “normal” by many metrics, but that’s fine for the Italian kicker – he
doesn’t see himself as a “normal” football player either.
Born in Milan, Tavecchio speaks four languages, has a variety of interests ranging from philosophy and
literature to Argentine tango, and might be the only person on the planet that has both Polish folk techno and
ABBA on his iPod.
Tavecchio has an innate desire to learn – whether it be the nuances of kicking, or the philosophical makeup of
athletes, Giorgio wants to learn it all.
“I consider myself very fortunate for being raised in the way I was,” Tavecchio said. “My family moved around
a lot, but my parents always focused on where my brother and I would have the best place to live, whether it
was soccer teams or schools, and I was brought up to respect others and other cultures and other ways of life,
28
OAKLAND RAIDERS FEATURE CLIPS
such that it spurned that curiosity. There’s a genuine curiosity that I think I’ve been blessed with to look for
answers – maybe to rhetorical questions – but just the experience of life.”
The term that comes to mind when talking with Tavecchio about life and philosophy as he sips on his
cappuccino is “renaissance man,” and while it’s a term that he gently laughs off, it’s one that fits.
Tavecchio doesn’t own a smartphone – he prefers to have his conversations face to face – and his wideranging set of interests make him inherently different than many NFL players.
“I don’t think I fit the stereotype of what one might imagine is an NFL football player, but that’s the beauty of
it,” Tavecchio said. “Half the time people don’t believe me, but I don’t care. I know that is part of my
experience. I know this part of my life and maybe not having that stereotype, physically speaking, I’m not as
bulked up as everybody else. It allows me to have a different kind of interaction, that when whoever I’m
interacting with finds out about football it changes their perspective.”
Before Tavecchio began his college career in Berkeley, he was actually committed to play soccer at UC Davis,
but a last-second call changed his collegiate commitment and the direction of his professional life. Over the
course of the 46 games he appeared in as a Golden Bear, Tavecchio scored 256 points – which ranks fifth on
the university’s all-time scoring list – connecting on 75 percent of his field goal attempts in the process.
However, what his time in Berkeley really did was foster a lifelong passion for the game of football,
placekicking in particular.
“It’s interesting, because as a kid I was so passionate about soccer; that’s all I would think about,” Tavecchio
said. “I’d go home and kick the soccer ball around. My mother would be so pissed off because we’d have these
little mini soccer balls [and] break everything in the house. Now, yes, I watch the Euro [Cup], yes I watch the
Copá America, but I’m very much in the football world. I’ve jumped in head first and really come to love this
craft of placekicking. I’ve come to love the experience of being in a football locker room, on the football field in
front of 70,000 people, and to me it’s an art. It’s a science. You get to be part of something that’s truly bigger
than yourself, maybe even the greatest team game ever invented. That is what has hook, line, and sunk me to
this football world.”
“This football world,” as Tavecchio describes it, has sent the Italian kicker on quite a journey over the past
several years since his college playing days ended, from San Francisco, to Detroit, to most recently Oakland,
and while he hasn’t yet found a permanent football home, he looks at each of his stops as a learning
experience, and just another stop on his journey.
“I can’t look back on this journey without one word coming to mind, and that’s just gratitude,” he said. “I’m
just a kid from nowhere, man. I shouldn’t have made it to Cal the way it worked out as a last-minute recruit. I
can’t tell you how many times I had good, bad, ugly kicks in college. Really, for me, this is a journey. Sure, I’m
working hard, I believe I belong in the NFL. I’ve proven myself, and I just think I need a chance to really show it
when it all counts but when I look back, and see the process that I’ve experienced on an emotional level, a
personal level, I think I’ve really grown within this structure of football, within the specific dynamics of being a
placekicker, within the very unique challenges of breaking into the NFL business.”
And Tavecchio has certainly been presented with his fair share of challenges throughout his brief NFL career.
Though he’s had the opportunity to kick for a trio of teams in the preseason, he has yet to find a team to go
through the regular season with, and while at times the constant uncertainty can be frustrating, he remains
positive and upbeat when discussing his career.
29
OAKLAND RAIDERS FEATURE CLIPS
“The line separating NFL starter and kid sitting at Caffe Strada is tiny, and for me, just having a chance to
straddle that line, to compete for a chance, is a blessing in itself,” Tavecchio said. “Like I said, if I’m honest with
the journey and I’m genuine with what I experience, I’m going to grow. I have the belief that if I continue to
grow and I’ll be doing special things in the NFL.”
Tavecchio knows exactly what he wants. He wants to be one of the 32 kickers in the NFL, and he’s not just
sitting by idly, hoping a chance falls in his lap – he’s actively pursuing opportunities and doing everything in his
power to ensure that his dream comes to fruition.
Giorgio Tavecchio is organized. He likes structure and he likes discipline, so it’s no surprise that during the
regular season he meticulously tracks each of the 32 NFL placekickers in an Excel spreadsheet he keeps on his
computer, making note of their makes, misses, and a variety of other statistics.
So what is he looking to gain as he delves into these stats? It can be something as big as an impending
opportunity, or something as small as a phone call.
“At the beginning of the week, after the week of games is over, I just go through the NFL website and look up
statistics, and just keep a running tab on how everyone is doing,” Tavecchio explained. “Statistically, this is a
results-based business, so if I start to track and things aren’t going well unfortunately for someone, then I can
kind of keep an eye on maybe they’re going to bring some kickers in. How do I get on that short list? Who do I
have to call? Who do I have my agent call? Just ways of directing my attention to teams that maybe, could be,
in the market.”
While there are a limited number of placekicking jobs in the NFL – a harsh reality Tavecchio knows well – when
he’s going through his statistical tracking each week, he never roots for his fellow kickers to fail.
“I don’t like to see kickers fail,” Tavecchio said, the sincerity evident in his voice. “I know that sounds odd
because in essence that could open up a job for myself, but for me this has been a special journey, like I keep
saying. I keep referencing that. I feel like it’s a fraternity, and when I see the ball flying through the pipes that’s
a very beautiful thing to see, so whether it’s me or somebody else, I like to see kickers succeed.”
While Tavecchio continues to chase down the dream of kicking in the NFL, there are bills to pay and
commitments to honor, so during the regular season, the 25-year-old kicker has picked up a variety of jobs,
ranging from tutoring, to dabbling in real estate, as well as helping out with his parent’s furniture business.
That’s all in addition to his rigorous year-round football training.
“I try to get some real-world experiences, but without shirking the responsibilities to train for football, try to
continue to grow as a kicker, learn from whatever the experiences were in the previous offseason and training
camp, and continue to stoke the fires of love and passion for this game that has kept me going this far.”
Tavecchio said. “That is coupled with pretty intense and diligent and disciplined training – lifting three times a
week, kicking three times a week, trying to stay ready for that phone call.”
In discussing his life’s arc – from Italy, to Berkeley, to his numerous NFL stops – Giorgio Tavecchio constantly
brings up one word; gratitude.
Gratitude with the journey, gratitude with the chances he’s been given, and now, gratitude for the Silver and
Black.
“There are very few chances given out, and as soon as the Raiders called these past couple of years – maybe
it’s just because I’m a lefty, maybe they like my curly hair, I don’t know – they made me feel like they wanted
me back,” he said. “It’s very nice to get a chance to stay in this business. It’s very nice to be around someone
30
OAKLAND RAIDERS FEATURE CLIPS
like [Sebastian] Janikowski. It’s awesome to be around a special locker room that continues to grow, especially
as the seeds of optimism and belief that was planted last year [are] cultivated more and more with work in the
offseason, and with more and more success on the field.”
In addition to his overall gratitude that he’s entering his third offseason with the organization, special teams
coordinator Brad Seely in particular sits in high esteem with Tavecchio.
“I owe a lot to him,” Tavecchio said when asked about Seely. “He was the one that first signed me out of
college. Had he not given me a chance with the [San Francisco] 49ers, I don’t know if I would even be having
this conversation. He’s a man that I respect very much. He’s very honest, very straightforward, very matter-offact. I’ve enjoyed learning from him – his assistant Tracy Smith as well – very witty guy as well. It’s a great
atmosphere to be a part of.”
Tavecchio is an affable guy; very pleasant to deal and converse with, but he’s very clearheaded and knows
precisely what he wants. He wants to be an NFL kicker, and while that part of his dream hasn’t materialized
yet, there’s an unquestioned passion in his voice when he talks about his professional aspirations.
“When I’m kicking, sometimes I feel like I’m Michelangelo and the football is my paintbrush and the uprights
are my canvas,” he explained. “When you feel like that on the field and when it goes your way, you hit a nice
kick, you win the game, or you help your team win the game, it’s cathartic. It’s a really special feeling. It’s a
special space that I think is very difficult to replicate in life, which is why I’m chasing it down as much as I can
right now.”
Tavecchio doesn’t like to look too far ahead in the future. He knows that he’s currently behind one of the
longest-tenured kickers with one of the strongest legs in Sebastian Janikowski as he enters Training Camp
2016. However, the preseason provides an excellent opportunity for him to continue to add to his impressive
game tape, and he just needs one team to like what it sees. He likes to focus on only what he can control, but
he knows that his journey is far from over, and he can’t wait for the next chapter to begin, and to share it with
the people he cares about – maybe discussing it over a cup of coffee.
“It’s all a beautiful life,” Tavecchio said. “It’s a crazy world out there and I’m just curious about it. I don’t have
any shame, so I’m open to asking questions and starting conversations and on a day like this, a nice cup of
coffee, you can have some good conversations.”

TE Colton Underwood
SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
Raiders’ Colton Underwood tackles cystic fibrosis for cousin
By Maddie Lee
June 23, 2016
When the Raiders’ Colton Underwood was still at Illinois State, he attended a golf tournament hosted by the
Cystic Fibrosis Foundation just outside of his hometown of Washington, Ill.
He accompanied his aunt, Shannon Hawksworth, whose infant daughter recently had been diagnosed with the
life-threatening disease. It was a good time to tell her of his plan: If he made it to the NFL, he would use that
platform to help people with CF.
“It wasn’t surprising because that’s just who he is,” Hawksworth said. “He’s very selfless.”
In January, Underwood launched the Colton Underwood Legacy Foundation to get kids involved in athletics
while also raising money for cystic-fibrosis research and support for those with the disease.
In his third year in the NFL, the linebacker-turned-tight end was a practice squad player for San Diego before
coming to Oakland in December.
Underwood said he came from a tight-knit community and an even closer family. So when his now-4-year-old
cousin was diagnosed with CF at birth, it was only natural that he take on her cause.
“I’m not going to lie, I knew nothing” about CF, Underwood said. “Even when Harper was first diagnosed with
it, I didn’t really know a lot, even when I visited her in the hospital.”
Harper, whom Underwood described as “a little fire ball of energy and attitude,” is one of more than 33,000
Americans living with CF. The progressive disease affects the lungs and digestive system by causing a buildup
of mucus in several organs. Patients with CF often have trouble breathing and are prone to infection.
The median life expectancy of a person with CF is 37 years. That’s much improved over the past half-century.
Before Underwood launched his foundation, he held a youth football camp in his hometown last June to
promote CF awareness. Because it was somewhat of a test run, Underwood offered the skills camp for free.
The 400 spots were taken within hours. Through corporate sponsorships — from everything from hospitals to
car dealerships — $50,000 was raised for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, according to Underwood.
“Little contributions here and there, they really added up,” he said. “I think it showed the type of community
that I’m from.”
This year, the nonprofit is running the second annual camp (now $25, it already has sold out) and introducing a
gala dinner to the festivities. All will be held in Illinois this weekend. Underwood said the foundation is
projected to raise more than $100,000 this year.
“I’m just so overwhelmed by not only what he does,” Hawksworth said, “but the response that he brings out in
everyone.”

Harper has become her big cousin’s right-hand woman in promoting awareness. She has come to interviews
with him and they shot a video together to put on the foundation’s website. Although she was shy on camera
at first, she accepted bribes in the form of candy, Underwood said.
“She’s awesome,” Underwood said. “Slowly she’s realizing what a tough situation she’s in.”
Twice a day, Harper sits through treatments designed to disrupt the mucus in her lungs, Hawkins said. She
takes pills with every meal to help her digestion. She sees five medical professionals and has regular checkups
once every three months. Harper has to be careful to avoid contact with anyone who’s sick, which has proved
a challenge for a family that has dinners at grandma’s house at least once a week.
Underwood is optimistic because he knows it could be much worse.
“We’ve been very fortunate up to this point for it not to affect her too much,” he said.
With her treatments, she is able to maintain her health, and she stays active. Harper, like her cousin, has a
knack for football.
“She’s coming for me,” he said. “Slowly but surely.”
Underwood signed with San Diego as an undrafted free agent in 2014. He spent the majority of the past two
years with the Chargers, but did not suit up for a regular-season game. After signing with Oakland in
December, he agreed to switch from linebacker to tight end.
“Its going well,” Underwood said. “Every single day, it feels more comfortable.”

DE Jihad Ward
SPORTS ILLUSTRATED – MMQB.COM
It Was The Journey
By Robert Mays
March 29, 2016
Joe’s Brewery, known simply as Joe’s around the University of Illinois, sits at 706 South Fifth Street in
Champaign, at the eastern edge of the college-bar hub that lines the town’s main thoroughfare. A faded
orange canopy shields the beer garden just outside the door. Inside, a list of 21 burgers makes up a bulk of the
dining options. It’s a place packed for $3 U-Call-Its on a weekend and barren at noon on Monday, but on this
afternoon in early March, it’s what Jihad Ward wants for lunch.
Champaign-Urbana sits about 140 miles south of Chicago. Outside of the university’s small sphere of
population, it’s beset by farmland on all sides. The campus is spacious but not sprawling, bustling in a few
areas but quiet in most. In choosing his Division-I home, Ward sought calm, and he knew he’d found it here.
Before coming to play defensive end for the Illini, the north Philadelphia native spent two years at Globe
Institute of Technology, a junior college whose campus is situated in New York City’s Garment District only a
short stroll from Times Square. His first semester in Champaign, Ward’s walk to practice consisted of the
seven-block stretch between Bromley Hall and Memorial Stadium. That’s the same distance from the 28th
Street stop on the 1 Train to the Manhattan Mini Storage on the borough’s west side that housed Globe Tech’s
practice equipment between sessions. At Illinois, the jaunt from Bromley was the entirety of his daily
commute. In New York, snagging his pads from a storage locker was just one leg of an 11.5-mile trip from his
school-provided townhouse on Staten Island to practice at the Chelsea Ballfields, which were occasionally
unavailable because of a youth soccer practice. Getting there meant a short bus ride, a trip across the Upper
Bay aboard the Staten Island Ferry, a quick shot on the 1 through Manhattan, and finally, that relative breeze
of a seven-block walk.
When practice ended, Ward and the Knights lugged their gear back to storage before trudging nearly a mile
down 29th Street to a Bally’s Total Fitness near Penn Station for a lift and a shower. Clean but exhausted, they
stumbled to classes at Globe, which often ended around 9 p.m. From there, it was a short walk to the 42nd
Street station, a subway ride to the ferry, and finally, the slow float back to Staten Island. In all, it was a 24.5mile round-trip commute—nearly three of those miles on foot—and around 200 minutes in transit over a fiveday week.
“That’s why people quit,” Ward says. “They didn’t quit because the team sucks, or this or that. They quit
because of the grind.” After two years of that grind, wide-open, slow-paced Champaign felt like a haven.
“Here,” Ward says, “there was nothing but quiet.”
As he finishes the thought, Ward—an honest 6-foot-5 and a trim but sturdy 300 pounds, cloaked entirely in
charcoal Illinois athletic gear—lifts his burger from its plastic red basket. Ranch and barbecue sauce spill out
the sides of the bun. In junior college, players aren’t provided meals. Many of the players at Globe were broke,
and finding a next meal wasn’t always certain. Bubba Burgers were the unaffordable item Ward craved enough
to pilfer from the nearby grocery store.
Opinions of Ward as a player cover an expanse. His standout week at the Senior Bowl led Mel Kiper to project
him as a first-round pick in February. Others see an inexperienced, position-less project that doesn’t deserve a
34
OAKLAND RAIDERS FEATURE CLIPS
thought in the first two rounds. Ward hasn’t paid much mind to any of the noise. Barely 22, with a patchy
beard that betrays a soft but rumbling tenor, his past has purged him of self-doubt. Whatever concerns
skeptics have voiced, none of them can touch the ones he’s already faced.
“Somebody complain about food, I’ve been through it,” Ward says. “Somebody complain about traveling, I’ve
been through that. Somebody complain about not having a father, I’ve been through that. Somebody complain
about violence or shooting, I’ve been through that too. I ain’t afraid of nothing. I’ve been through everything.”

52 Bus to St. George Ferry Terminal // Staten Island Ferry to Whitehall Terminal // 1 Train to 28th St.
Globe Tech’s players were scattered around the boroughs and New Jersey, but for two years, Ward lived with
19 teammates in neighboring two-story townhouses at 104 and 106 Townsend Avenue on Staten Island. A
modest $3,000 rent was the appeal of each cream-colored, green-roofed building, where six players inhabited
the upstairs with another four on the first floor.
The bus stop was only a few steps down the street, and with two lines running they never waited long. Rides
cost $2.75, which many of them simply didn’t have every day. To ensure passage, they deployed an array of
tactics. The simplest, because non-college students rode for free, was flashing an old high school ID. As Ward
filled out his 6-5 frame, suspicion grew, and when the MTA issued specialized passes for high schoolers, the
plan was scrapped. Some mornings, he’d grab a fistful of pennies and toss them in the change slot.
Free ferry rides provided a brief respite, but the real problem waited for them across the water. “We get off
the ferry, and now, we have to worry about the train,” Ward says, before pausing. “That’s gonna be tricky.”
Subway stations around Whitehall were lined with police, both MTA and NYPD. Initially, says Tyruiq Gordon, a
fellow Philly native who was a year ahead of Ward at Globe, they would try to reason with workers, explaining
they were willing to give what they had, even if what they had wasn’t enough. “For the most part, they were
lenient toward us because of the situation,” Gordon says. “We weren’t just hanging around.” On days when
that failed, players would get creative. Even at 280 pounds, Ward would slip into a turnstile with a teammate,
conjuring two Metro Card swipes out of one. Like attacking a double team, the key to squeezing onto the
subway was getting skinny. “It’s a technique going through them things,” Ward says. In times of desperation,
the Knights were left with one final, undesirable option. “If you had to hop, then you hopped,” Gordon says of
a move that could come with a $100 fine. “When it came down to it, you couldn’t miss practice or class.”
“You know the movie Warriors?” Ward asks. “We did the same thing.”
Empty pockets hindered travel, but the hardest days were the ones that led to empty stomachs. Groceries
came from a now-defunct Waldbaum’s around the corner. On his most desperate days, Ward would haul a
duffel bag to the store and collect the cheap essentials—pancake mix, milk, bread—before paying, sneaking
back inside, and snagging luxuries like hot dogs and french fries. “He [wouldn’t] eat for two days and not say
anything to me,” says Cameron Chadwick, Globe’s head coach. “He was one of those kids, he wouldn’t ask you.
He’d just go without.”
During Ward’s first season living at 104 Townsend there were three other players from Philadelphia and six
from Hampton Roads, Va. Those shared roots created the earliest bonds, but it was hunger—both for food and
a future—that ultimately fused them. Gordon and others showed Ward the way that year, and when they
were gone, the mantle was his. “It’s not really teaching someone,” Ward says. “You just see it. We’ve got each
other’s back.”
35
OAKLAND RAIDERS FEATURE CLIPS
For Chadwick, Ward became another set of eyes when he couldn’t be around. If the house wasn’t clean or
neighbors complained about noise, he knew to call his Pied Piper, the guy who rounded up players, got them
fed and to practice every day. That year, fellow Philadelphian Tyrin Stone-Davis was 3,000 miles away at Pierce
College in Los Angeles, but when he joined Ward at Illinois, he felt the same pull. “Just his presence, period,”
Stone-Davis said of Ward’s influence. “He just leads by action, and people rally behind him.” Stone-Davis is
nearly a year older than the man he now describes as his brother, but that never mattered. There was comfort
to be found in Ward’s quiet ambition, and Stone-Davis clung to it. He still does. “I just feel safe around him,”
Stone-Davis says. “He never lied to me. He’s never done me harm. I trust him. I love him. He wants the best for
me.

Walk from 28th St. to Manhattan Mini Storage (29th St. and 11th Ave.) to Chelsea Ballfields (28th and 10th)
The Chelsea Ballfields are a fenced-in artificial surface near the High Line, outfitted with a track, backstop, and
soccer fields. And during Ward’s first season at Globe, in the fall of 2012, it’s where the team held most of its
practices. Compared to the arduous walk from the storage unit to De Witt Clinton Park on 52nd Street in Hell’s
Kitchen, home to spring practices that year, the two blocks felt like nothing to veterans like Gordon. When
Chadwick ran into scheduling conflicts, he’d sometimes audible to Pier 40, at a field that adjoins a trapeze
school, but that season Globe Tech football called two main locations home: practices in Chelsea, games at
Union City High School in New Jersey, on a roof surrounded by a net to keep balls from plummeting off the
side.
Next to the turf patch at the Ballfields sit a trio of basketball courts, much like the ones where Ward spent
most of his childhood. Kareema Ward is a single mother with five children. “Jihad” was the name of a
childhood classmate, and it would become the name of her first child. There was no religious connection at the
time—Kareema didn’t convert to Islam until 11 years ago, long after Jihad was born—but her education as a
Muslim has brought new meaning to his name. In her purse, she carries a piece of lined notebook paper with
17 highlighted Islamic phrases, a constant resource for lessons she’s still learning. She knows what most will
think. They hear “Jihad,” all they imagine is decrees of holy war and violence. But jihad can also mean to strain,
to strive, to persevere. Now, when Kareema hears her son’s name, she thinks of all he’s done in his own
struggle.
Until age 14, he’d never played a down of organized football. Before his sophomore year at since-closed
Edward Bok Technical High School, the basketball coach approached Frank Natale, then in his first-year as
Bok’s head football coach, about a tall, muscular basketball player he thought would fit with Natale’s plans.
That summer, a 6-foot-3, 240-pound Jihad Ward was getting snaps for the Wildcats at wide receiver and
safety. “He was 6-4 at D-back wearing no. 84,” laughs Gordon, who played running back for nearby University
that year. “He looked out of place.”
Apocryphal tales have emerged about Ward’s positional history, in the way they do about players who’ve
spent time on the outskirts of college sports before ending up at a major program. He’s only played defensive
line for three years is a tempting way to inflate Ward’s potential. It’s also not true. He spent his second season
as a standup end in Natale’s 5-2 defense, and with an eye on getting Ward’s hand in the dirt, Bok transitioned
to a 4-3 when he was a senior.
Ward was second-team All-City as a junior, but Division I interest ended before it could start when coaches
learned about his grades. Natale ensures that Ward was a fixture in class, but still, his GPA hung just below 2.0.
Chadwick, who’d been named Globe’s head coach the previous year, had history recruiting in Philadelphia, and
eventually he and Natale got in touch. He made the trip to see Ward play at an all-star game at Lincoln
36
OAKLAND RAIDERS FEATURE CLIPS
Financial Field, but he’d been sold long before. Players built like that don’t land in junior college. A defensive
end from the start at Globe Tech, Ward played well enough for his teammates to elect him a captain the spring
following his freshman season.
Eight hundred fifty miles away, Bill Cubit was one of several members of the Illinois coaching staff scouring
JUCO tape for defensive linemen. Poring through his Hudl account, Cubit, a Philadelphia native, came across a
tape from a school he’d never heard of. He might have kept going if not for seeing his hometown next to the
player’s name. A few plays on the grainy tape were all Cubit needed.
Cubit reached out to Ward through Illinois’s Twitter account and passed along his number. His first question
after Ward called was a crucial one: American cheese or Cheez Whiz? Silence followed.
“On your cheese steak,” Cubit said.
A short pause.
“American cheese.”
Cubit was satisfied.
***
Until Ward came to Illinois that fall for his official visit, the only proof Cubit had that he even existed was
shoddily recorded game footage and a voice on the other end of the phone. There was more evidence that the
Loch Ness monster is real. The day before Illinois’ game against Wisconsin, a hulking figure walked into a
banquet room at Champaign Country Club for the team’s Friday meal. “When he walked through the door, I
was as relieved as anybody,” Cubit says. “And I turned to somebody and said, ‘Now that’s what they’re
supposed to look like.’”
A handful of schools pursued, but Illinois is where he felt wanted most. Along with a reprieve from life in New
York, Ward yearned for people who cared. He didn’t always have them growing up in Philadelphia. When he
was 17, a paternity test revealed that the imprisoned man he thought to be his father was not. Jihad
eventually did get in touch with his dad, and when his family threw a party to celebrate his acceptance to
Globe, he extended an invitation. The man arrived with the smell of beer lingering on his breath and handed
his son a congratulatory $20 bill. Ward hasn’t seen him since.
In Philadelphia, distrust and dismissal seeped into all of life’s cracks. With Cubit at Illinois, there was support, a
shared vision. “He told me the other day, ‘You can’t feel money,’” Kareema says. “But you can feel when
someone loves you.”
Ward’s first padded practice in Champaign was the second day of the team’s fall camp. He knew how
established, pedigreed Division I might view a JUCO castoff, and from the start, he wanted to announce his
presence. A broader goal came with it, though. “When I do a rep against people, when I get off the ball, people
feel me,” Ward says. “I don’t say much, but people feel me. “You’re going to feel how I felt for those two years,
through my whole life.”
Practice started with an inside run drill, the linemen, linebackers, and backs gathered on one side of the field.
On the first snap, Ward knifed into the backfield and buried running back Donovonn Young into the turf.
Stone-Davis was across the indoor facility with the rest of the wide receivers. “All I heard was Wooooo!
Woooo!” Stone-Davis says. “Everybody just turned their head and looked.” What they saw was Ward, letting

out an out-of-character roar in Young’s face as he was peeled off the ground. “He felt like he’d arrived,” StoneDavis says.
Illinois was thin on the defensive line, and co-defensive coordinator Tim Banks says the staff did all they could
to get Ward ready to play early that season. “I think we knew after the first practice,” Banks says. “This kid was
freakish, in terms of his movements. And he went hard.” By the fourth game of the season, an injury made
Ward one of the Illini’s starting defensive ends.
He remained there all year, earning Honorable Mention All-Big Ten along the way, but when new defensive
line coach Mike Phair arrived the following spring, he quickly developed grander plans. Like many who’d only
seen him on film, Phair was jarred by Ward’s size in person.
He saw a player that even at 6-foot-5 had the flexibility to maintain pad level and keep leverage. Throughout
the spring, he experimented with Ward inside, where the quickness and length that allowed him to survive on
the edge became an even more significant advantage against interior offensive linemen. “He’s dangerous
there,” Phair says. “I thought he could really cause some problems for an offense. And I thought he did a really
good job learning how to play those spots inside.” A bump to tackle was just another course in Ward’s rapid
defensive line education. Those practices would be his only spring football experience in major college
football, and that lack of background is what has teams intrigue about his room for growth. “I’m just now
learning techniques and schemes,” Ward says. “Getting off the ball, getting vertical, those types of things.”
By the time Illinois played Iowa in its sixth game of the season, Ward was playing a considerable portion of his
snaps at defensive tackle, and that week is when Phair saw it all coalesce. Ward finished that game with 11
tackles, including nine solo. In years past, players that appeared to fall between the cracks of positional
designations were downgraded for it. Now, with stars like Muhammad Wilkerson, Calais Campbell, and Jurrell
Casey blurring lines and erasing ballcarriers, versatility is en vogue. Phair spent five years as an NFL defensive
line coach before arriving in Champaign, and when looks at Ward, he sees an instant pro. “It won’t surprise me
when he plays right away for whoever drafts him,” Phair says.

Walk from Bally’s Total Fitness to Globe Institute of Technology (38th St. and 7th Ave.)
Globe’s entrance is on 38th Street. Wedged between two stores specializing in rhinestones and beads,
“Garment Center Capitol” is carved into the stone above the door. When Cubit visited, following Illinois’s 2013
season, he thought he was lost. Ward’s thoughts were even blunter: “I was like, ‘This is the school?’”
The school is three floors of beige walls, with a few rows of computer paper reading “Welcome to Globe
Institute of Technology” taped behind a receptionist’s desk acting as a banner. The rounded letters are filled in
with black marker. It’s a tough sell for head coach Cameron Chadwick, and he knows it.
Chadwick is from Union, N.J. A high school star, poor grades made junior college his only outlet after
graduation. He landed at Nassau Community College, and from his housing in Hempstead, the trudge to the
Garden City campus was more than 3.5 miles. After two seasons, he transferred to Rutgers, where he played
defensive back under head coach Terry Shea. Three years with NFL Europe’s Prague Panthers followed, and
after a short stint in real estate, Chadwick felt the pull of coaching. He was hired as Globe’s defensive
coordinator in 2008 before finally taking the head job in 2011. “I feel like this is where I belong,” Chadwick
says. “I was [these players] 20 something years ago.”
The main sales pitch for Globe Tech is two-prong. Prong 1 starts—and ends—with the chance to attend school
in New York City. Prong 2 is about how much it costs. Last season, Globe’s opponents included Stevenson

College, Dean College, and Albright College. The average yearly tuition for those three schools is $33,000 a
year. Lackawanna and Albright are considerably more affordable, but neither gets to Globe’s annual asking
price: $11,000.
Getting players to campus is a start, but keeping them is far from a certainty. In those days, with the trek to
and from Manhattan, Chadwick estimates that he lost about the half the players he’d recruited before the
season. “You take an 18-year-old kid straight out of high school, stick him in the heart of New York and say,
‘OK, now you have to do everything yourself,’” Gordon says. “It was definitely a shock.” The travel was a
deterrent for some of Ward’s teammates, but what sent many of them scurrying was learning that a portion of
their credits wouldn’t pass NCAA compliance. Following his freshman year, Washington, Tennessee, Kentucky
and Illinois all showed interest in Ward, but some balked at Globe’s accreditation.
Chadwick ensured that all they needed was additional course materials, and the concerns would be alleviated,
but Ward saw it as another rejection. He was devastated. All those hungry nights, all the cunning work to make
his way onto the train, all his success on the field, it had been in vain. “It really hurt me because I busted my
ass to be where I was,” Ward says. “I was so excited that I had a full scholarship somewhere.” Chadwick did
what he could to calm the unrest, and in time, Illinois was able to accept enough of Ward’s credits to accept
him. After coming to Globe Tech with a 1.8 GPA, he left with a 3.4, and he’s on track to finish his degree at
Illinois in sports management this spring.
Conference room 409, where Ward signed his letter of intent, has been unchanged since. An old Dell desktop
sits in one corner, a black file cabinet in another. Two posters—an eagle for “Leadership” and group of cyclists
for “Perseverance”—hang on adjacent walls. A blue Globe Tech banner fills out another, behind the long table
where Ward put pen to paper. Documenting it all was Chadwick with a cell phone, the signing day cameras a
world away. “After we signed him, [Jihad] must have thanked me for five, six weeks, for giving him the
opportunity,” Cubit says.
Even now, as Ward spends more time with former college stars entrenched in the same stretch of their lives,
he can’t believe what he hears. He never says anything, content to keep his head down and his mouth closed
as he plugs away. Quietly, he’s incredulous. “It’s a regular day to them,” Ward says. “It’s not a regular day to
me. I’d never had a practice on no college football field, in a big stadium.” He says the moment he arrived at
Illinois, he knew this was the future. The hardest days were behind him. But even now, short clips will land in
Cubit’s text messages, of Ward alone in the practice facility. “He could be a $100 million man, and he’d still feel
like he’s worth a penny,” says Stone-Davis. “That’s Jihad.”

Walk from Globe Tech to 42nd Street/Times Square // 1 Train to Whitehall Terminal // Staten Island Ferry to
St. George Ferry Terminal
Tourists lingered in Times Square long after the 9 p.m. let-out time for Globe’s classes, but the worst of the
noise was long past. After another adventure to secure a seat on the train, Ward arrived at Whitehall Terminal
and waited for the next ferry back to Staten Island. Sitting on the hard plastic seats of the ferry, he’d pass the
Statue of Liberty, softly lit from below as a few straggling tourists gathered near the window to snap a picture.
“Like I tell everybody,” Ward says, “I just want peace at the end of the day.”
He found it at the end of every night in New York, but at Illinois, he discovered it in every aspect of his day. He
knows football has changed has life, but he doesn’t deny he’s the one that allowed it to.

“There was so much stuff happening in my life. There’s always something trying to break you down,” he says.
“But I made it through.”
The only sound on the ferry was the low hum of the engine. It was a calming churn. Staring out the window, he
saw the soft light on the Lady to which so many began anew. When he looked into the sky, he saw hope.

Marvin Hall, Jaydon Mickens Continue Football Journey As Members Of The Oakland Raiders
By Eddie Paskal
August 10, 2016
Two friends sat in front of a TV playing a game of NCAA Football 2012, and the stakes were simple; granted
they were a little higher than you would expect from a pair of high school buddies spending some time
together during a holiday break.
They weren’t playing for money, or even bragging rights; they were playing for a college commitment.
Marvin Hall and Jaydon Mickens went to high school together at Dorsey High School in Los Angeles, and after
Hall committed to the University of Washington and to head to Seattle to play college football, he wanted his
friend from home to join him.
Mickens was on the fence.
He had narrowed his college choices down to the University of Oregon, Oklahoma State, and the University of
Washington, so Hall came up with a simple solution, why not just play a video game to decide?
“I was Washington; he [Mickens] was Oregon, because he had narrowed it down to a couple of schools,” Hall
recounted. “I told him, ‘if I beat you, you have to commit now.’ I ended up beating him and he committed right
on the spot, and we went from there.”
Mickens was true to his word, and as soon as the game ended, he called then-coach Steve Sarkisian to tell him
he was going to be a Husky, and would be re-joining his high school teammate in the Pacific Northwest.
Over the next four years, the pair of wideouts enjoyed a plethora of success at Washington, and after their
careers as Huskies ended, their friendship quickly began another chapter, as they were both signed by the
Oakland Raiders as undrafted free agents within several weeks of each other.
Now, the high school teammates, who became college teammates, have become professional teammates, and
as they go through their first training camp as NFL players, the chance to continue their football careers
together is something that both Hall and Mickens appreciate.
“You always talk with your friends, ‘man, we’re on the same college team. We’re about to go away from each
other for a long time probably. It won’t be the same again, but what if we all played for the same NFL team?
That would be crazy,’” Mickens said. “Having that happen, it was surreal. I couldn’t believe it at first, but it was
something that I put in the back of my mind.”
Training camp is a time of highs and lows – particularly for a undrafted rookies trying to make an impression –
and having a teammate and close friend to act as a support system has a made of world of difference for the
each of the receivers as they’ve gone through the most strenuous job interviews of their careers.
“It’s real big,” said Hall. “We push each other, so when we have down days, when we have up days, we’re
there to talk to each other, and get each other through this, and just letting each other know, ‘I’m here for you
if you need me,’ and vice versa. It’s a blessing.”

“I would call it a blessing as well,” added Mickens. “Because there are some days where you’re just like, ‘I don’t
know this and that,’ even though you’re never supposed to second guess yourself, but with this business, it
gets hard on you.”
Friday night both Hall and Mickens will put on the pads and play in their first game as Oakland Raiders, and as
they walk onto the field at University of Phoenix Stadium, the pair will fulfill a dream they had as high
schoolers in Los Angeles.
“I thought about me and him in the same jersey at Dorsey, and me and him in the same jersey at Washington,
now in the same NFL uniform, it’s going to be surreal,” said Mickens. “It might make me cry, but at that time I
know I have to be thinking about football, but down the road, we’re going to look back at it, and be like, ‘man,
that’s incredible.”
“Like they say, God works in mysterious ways,” added Hall. “He put us here for a reason. We’ve been in each
other’s lives for a reason. We’re going to push each other to make sure we both make this squad.”
