One of the players that we should see a lot of during the preseason is rookie QB Aidan O’Connell. The fourth-round pick from Purdue will likely get a lot of playing time as Jimmy Garoppolo and Brian Hoyer are the clear 1-2 for the Raiders.
The good news is that O’Connell has looked fantastic during training camp and deserves an extended look in the preseason. In a recent article by Albert Breer of SI.com, he wrote about some of his top nuggets from training camp. That included a note on O’Connell, who has had a strong offseason with the Raiders.
