This week, a group of young athletes prepared to embark on a new chapter in their football careers gathered at the Raiders practice complex.
The Raiders have started their two-day rookie minicamp. Several first-year players and tryout players are taking part in addition to the team’s eight draft picks and seventeen undrafted free agents. The rookies began learning the ropes of the NFL from Head Coach Antonio Pierce and the coaching staff on Friday during their first session.
Regarding the atmosphere of rookie minicamp, Pierce remarked, “Learning, we’re in elementary school.” “The Raider way, the Raider culture, the way we play football, how we practice, and how we study are all aspects of our way of doing things. That’s what they’re doing right now in class. Several enthusiastic participants, and I believe for us, merely get to know one another. We continued to build that relationship and acclimate these individuals to not only the coaches but also the other players on our roster by talking about trust, accountability, and process with them yesterday.”
