Now that we are a few weeks into training camp, it’s time to take a look at a few players that have clearly helped their stock. But who has improved their stock the most so far through the first week of padded practice?
In a recent article by Albert Breer of SI.com, he wrote about some of his top nuggets from training camp. That included a few paragraphs on third-year safety Trevon Moehrig, who is having a strong camp. Here is what he had to say about the top safety for the Raiders heading into the year:
Trevon Moehrig has dominated through the first couple of weeks of camp, and really benefited from the addition of former Eagle Marcus Epps to the safety group. A versatile piece, Moehrig is playing fast and with confidence, and looks ready to make a big jump.
Moehrig has been a full-time starter for the Raiders over the last two years, but the team has been waiting for him to take the next step. It appears he has finally taken that step, according to Breer.
If the Raiders can get even better play from Moehrig in 2023, the secondary has a chance to be significantly improved this year. The additions of Marcus Epps and Marcus Peters bring up the floor of this unit, but they still need Moehrig to take a big step forward.
