Defensive Line

  • Clelin Ferrell
  • Johnathan Hankins
  • Maurice Hurst
  • Josh Mauro
  • Arden Key
  • PJ Hall
  • Ethan Westbrooks
  • Benson Mayowa
  • Maxx Crosby
  • Eddie Vanderdoes
  • Quinton Bell

The Raiders were pathetic at rushing the passer last season in totaling all of 13 sacks last season. That led to Oakland drafting three edge rushers in Ferrell, Crosby, and Bell who will immediately get in the rotation and improve the pass rush. Mauro, Key, Mayowa will also be in the defensive end rotation. Hankins and Vanderdoes will be the run-stuffers of the interior group while Hurst, Hall, and Westbrooks offer more burst and pass rush ability from the defensive tackle position.

Player to watch: Corey Liuget
