One of the most surprising things to come out of the preseason was the play of rookie quarterback Aidan O’Connell. With Jimmy Garoppolo’s injury history and Brian Hoyer’s age, the Raiders decided to give O’Connell a ton of playing time in the preseason. That certainly worked out well.
O’Connell played a ton of snaps for the Raiders in the preseason and was highly efficient. He completed over 71 percent of his passes while throwing for 462 yards and three touchdowns. What’s even more impressive is that he did not throw an interception and led his team on six touchdown drives.
